Faculty of Biomedical Engineering

Enter the fascinating world of science and technology! In a unique workshop, you will learn the secrets of 3D printing, see how bone models can be printed to help doctors plan operations and test your knowledge of your skeletal system. You will also learn how to use fruit to generate electricity to power a small light bulb or diode, and discover how our bodies leave unique heat traces visible to a thermal imaging camera. You'll test your detective skills by analysing fingerprints and other traces to solve CSI-style mysteries. The chance to try laparoscopic suturing like a real surgeon also awaits you, and in the Mad Scientist's Lab you'll perform fascinating experiments that will reveal the secrets of chemistry, physics and more. At the end - a prize for persistent minds.

You are cordially invited to participate in the Science Picnic organised at the Faculty of Biomedical Engineering of the Silesian University of Technology, which will take place on 16 November 2024 from 10:00 to 13:00.

Participating in the event is a unique opportunity to explore the mysteries of biomedical engineering and have fun at the same time!

As part of the event, we offer the following activities/stands:

• Take a bone as a souvenir! - 3D printing in practice.
• Get to know your bones - tests and quizzes.
• How much fruit does it take to light up an LED or light bulb?
• Colour your insides.
• Time for a riddle: how do you get to the treasure chest?
• Anatomical models - what does the heart look like and how many vertebrae are in the spine.
• Who wants to become a surgeon? Is laparoscopic suturing difficult?
• CSI criminal mysteries of biomedical engineering.
• Does our body leave heat marks?
• The mad scientist's workshop.
• After mental exertion, you've earned a sweet reward.
• Meeting Polis (the polytechnic mascot).
