Scientific Christmas at Atlantic School
The students of 3ESO and 4ESO have been surgeons for a few hours thanks to the workshops given these days by the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria in different educational centers of the Islands. At the forefront of this initiative entitled Scientific Christmas is the Medical and Audiovisual Technology Group of the University Institute for Research in Biomedical and Health Sciences (IUIBS), which brings together multidisciplinary teams that are used today to better understand the body, facilitate diagnosis, improve the therapeutic treatment of many diseases and also optimize the training of health professionals.
Our students had the opportunity to handle laparoscopic forceps and act as authentic surgeons, as well as knowing the latest advances in medicine such as 3D printer that allows you to create anatomical models made from segmentations of a scanner. Finally, and following the motto of these do-it-yourself workshops, the students were able to navigate through a heart through virtual reality glasses. Undoubtedly, a great way to spread the importance of science among young people and learn about the latest advances in medical technology.
