Laren-zo-Miles Nash (center) participates in the Neural Engineering,Talking and Listening to Nerves workshop of the Xplore Engineering camp on North Campus on July 1, 2022.

 

At the Neural Engineering,Talking and Listening to Nerves workshop, camp participants learn about how nerves work and how sensations are turned into feelings and ideas into actions. BME students and faculty use insects to teach camp participants how to engineer the nervous system and show how neuroscience can move robotic arms with brainpower to help paralyzed people walk.

 

Xplore Engineering summer camp is designed for Michigan Engineering alumni and the children in their life entering the 4th through 7th grade. Through a series of experiential workshops, participants get hands-on experience in a variety of engineering disciplines. Participants can choose to participate in 6 out of 18 workshops ranging from nanotechnology to rocketry.
