PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT BioBuilding: A traveling exhibit for future biomedical engineers The Sciencenter, Cornell University’s Meinig School of Biomedical Engineering, and SpectrUM Discovery Museum will develop a traveling exhibition on biomedical engineering for small to mid-sized museums nationally. The 1,500 square-foot bilingual (English/Spanish) exhibition and supporting programs will use hands-on learning experiences to target youth ages 6-12 and their families to foster a greater understanding of biomedical engineering and the innovative ways it is used to address issues in medicine, public health, and health equity. The project will be co-developed by the Sciencenter and Cornell University graduate students, immersing Sciencenter staff in biomedical engineering content, while strengthening graduate students’ ability to communicate their research to museum audiences. Long-Term Objectives 1) Generate knowledge of and interest in biomedical engineering careers among rural youth ages 6-12 and their families; 2) Generate increased understanding within the general public of how biomedical engineers improve health; 3) Encourage graduate students to continue to connect with museums throughout their careers as a way to engage the public with important biomedical engineering content. Specific Aims This project supports the National Institute of Health’s strategy to “enhance the training of a workforce to meet the nation’s biomedical, behavioral and clinical research needs” by targeting youth and families in rural communities, communities that are often underserved in STEM. This project also aims to improve science communication skills among participating Cornell University graduate students. Research Design and Methods The project will use evidence-based methods of exhibit design and inquiry-based learning to co-develop a traveling exhibition and supporting programs with Sciencenter staff and Cornell graduate students, which will tour nationally. Front-end evaluation and iterative prototyping with target audiences will inform framing and entry points for biomedical engineering content. Standardized activity guides and take-home kits will extend learning experiences into the classroom, community, and homes of visitors.

项目摘要/摘要 生物建造：未来生物医学工程师的旅行展览 康奈尔大学的梅尼格生物医学工程学院和谱系 Discovery Museum将开发有关中小型生物医学工程的旅行展览 全国博物馆。 1,500平方英尺的双语（英语/西班牙语）展览和支持 计划将利用动手学习经验来针对6-12岁的青年及其家人来促进 对生物医学工程的更多了解以及它用于解决问题的创新方式 医学，公共卫生和健康公平。该项目将由ScienceCenter共同开发 康奈尔大学的研究生，沉浸于生物医学工程内容的科学人员工作人员， 同时增强了研究生将研究与博物馆观众传达的能力。 长期目标 1）在6-12岁的农村青年中对生物医学工程职业产生知识和兴趣 和他们的家人； 2）在公众中对生物医学的方式产生越来越多的理解 工程师改善健康； 3）鼓励研究生继续与博物馆建立联系 通过他们的职业，作为一种重要的生物医学工程内容吸引公众。 具体目标 该项目支持美国国家卫生研究院“增强劳动力培训的战略 通过针对青年和家庭来满足国家的生物医学，行为和临床研究需求” 在粗糙的社区中，经常在STEM中服务不足的社区。这个项目也旨在 提高康奈尔大学研究生的科学沟通技巧。 研究设计和方法 该项目将使用基于证据的裸露设计和基于查询的学习的方法来共同开发 与科学员工和康奈尔大学研究生一起的巡回展览和支持计划， 这将在全国范围内巡回演出。目标受众的前端评估和迭代原型将 为生物医学工程内容提供框架和切入点。标准化的活动指南和 带回家套件将把学习经验扩展到教室，社区和游客的家中。
