Noah Mathews measures the energy needed to counteract the weight of a heavy object on a wooden arm as his dad and sister Jordan Mathews point at a screen during the Use the Force! Workshop.

 

At the Use the Force! Workshop camp participants learn that even the simplest everyday actions require your body to generate surprisingly large forces. They explore how biomedical engineers capture data about how our bodies move and what forces they generate – and see how this information helps us to understand and treat different diseases and disabilities of the musculoskeletal system.

 

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.
