A tech building will create opportunities for interactive learning and increase tourism in South Central, PA

Interactive InnovativeEconomically Sustainable

STEM Education Tourism

Customer needs were established through a survey of Penn State students and a biomedical engineering professor

A strong pre med program at Juniata led us to narrow our focus to exhibits involving medicine

Research conducted revealed many cutting edge technologies that could be applicable to our tech house

Specifications were based on six main categories: size, functionality, adaptability, safety, interactivity and education

Safety

Size

Functionality

Interactive

Adaptability

Education

A list of ideas was generated based on existing models and new innovative ideas

A: EKG monitoring game

B: Interactive anatomy surgery thing (laproscopic)

C: Interactive animated skull

D: X-Ray & Broken Bones

E: Brain EEG

F: Interactive Heart

G: Disease Progression Display (HD Touch Screen)

H: Microbiology (Microscopy, germs, bacteria, …)

I: Interactive Neurons

Our ideas were evaluated by concept screening and scoring with an emphasis on interactivity, visual appeal and education

Surgery Man allows patrons to perform surgeries on the body while following along with the virtual surgery

Disease Progression Modeling allows patients to track the way a disease attacks the human body

Summary• The design process began with recognizing the opportunity

and continued through the selection of our exhibits

• Surgery Man is an interactive anatomy model that allows people to explore the human body and common surgeries

• Disease Progression Modeling will be a lifesize display that will show how a disease affects the body and how medicine helps the body fight back
