Do you know students who excel in math and science? Designed with the intellectually curious student in mind, Johns Hopkins Biomedical Engineering Innovation offers a challenging and fun online course that sparks an interest in engineering and STEM exploration.   Share this opportunity to earn college credit with these advanced students. Applications are being accepted for the January 25, 2021 course, so there is still time to apply. I loved doing the final project! It was really fun to investigate something that was entirely something you chose and something that you were interested in. After a few weeks of stressing about it and trying to come up with the best topic and experimental design it was great to finally get into the project! Johns Hopkins faculty created the Biomedical Engineering Innovation course to encourage creativity and instill confidence in students. In the course, students will model human efficiency and the cardiovascular system and design experiments to test these models and more. And students have the opportunity to earn college credit and strengthen their college applications!   Read more about the course and share Biomedical Engineering Innovation, scheduled for January 25–April 23, 2021, with parents and students.   Email us with any questions.   Sincerely, Johns Hopkins University Engineering Innovation Programs Biomedical Engineering Innovation
