  2. Overview • Next Generation Learning Community Campus • The Life Science Academy • Project Lead the Way • Biomedical Sciences Curriculum • Introduction to Instructor • Expectations • Looking Ahead • Questions Funded by OMHS and OCTC

  3. COMMUNITY CAMPUS • Next Generation Learning Community Campus • Mission- Merger of student passion and ability with a meaningful career path • Vision- An improved workforce equipped with skills needed in the next-generation workplace • Funding- Redirection of resources Funded by OMHS and OCTC

  4. COMMUNITY CAMPUS World Class Research First Class Health Care High Quality Educational Opportunities Funded by OMHS and OCTC

  5. Life science academy • Academies • STEM • Theatre Arts • Construction/Trades/Energy • Business/Entrepreneurship • The Life Science Academy • The mission of the Life Science Academy is to improve Health Care in our region • The goal is to improve the pathways for students to pursue careers in the health care field through world-class real-world, hands-on research and investigation • Project Lead the Way Biomedical program Funded by OMHS and OCTC

  6. Project Lead the Way (PLTW) • The nation’s leading provider of rigorous and innovative STEM education • MISSION • to ensure that America succeeds in the increasingly high-tech and high-skill global economy by partnering with middle schools and high schools to prepare students to become the most innovative and productive in the world • Comprehensive, collaboratively developed curriculum • PLTW teachers • University educators • engineering and biomedical professionals • school administrators Funded by OMHS and OCTC

  7. Project Lead the Way (PLTW) • Curriculum focuses on • Critical thinking • Creativity • Innovation • Real-world problem solving • The Program • Hands-on • Problem-based • engages students on multiple levels • exposes them to areas of study that they typically do not pursue • provides them with a foundation and proven path to college and career success in STEM related fields • Utilizes AP2 Funded by OMHS and OCTC

  8. AP2: activities, projects, and problem-based learning • Activities • build skills and knowledge • Projects • hone skills in teamwork, mathematics, science, software, time management, and communication • Problems • Students doing authentic real-world work. • Learning is contextual, not disjointed series of concepts. • Students work in teams. • Expectations are clearly articulated to students • Problems have unpredictable results Funded by OMHS and OCTC

  9. PLTW Biomedical Science Program • Physician • Nurse • Dentist • Veterinarian • Pharmacist • Paramedic • Dietician • Surgeon • Research Scientist • Health Information Manager • Medical Technologist • Radiologist • Medical Technical Writer • Physicians’ Assistant • Biomedical Engineer • Addresses impending critical shortage of qualified science and health professionals • Prepare students for rigorous post-secondary education at two and four-year colleges or universities Funded by OMHS and OCTC

  10. PLTW Biomedical Science Program BMS Funding States. Schools implemented program in 2007. States with schools implementing program since 2007. Funded by OMHS and OCTC

  11. Biomedical Science at the life science academy • Principles of the Biomedical Sciences (PBS)™ • Human Body Systems™ • Medical Interventions™ • Biomedical Innovation™ Funded by OMHS and OCTC

  12. Principles of Biomedical Science • Student work involves • the study of human medicine • research processes • introduction to bioinformatics • Students investigate the human body systems and various health conditions including: • Human Body Systems • Heart Attack • Diabetes • Sickle Cell Disease • Hypercholesterolemia • Infectious Diseases • Medical Interventions • Grant Proposal Funded by OMHS and OCTC

  13. Principles of Biomedical Science • Unit 2: Heart Attack • Dissect a sheep heart • Build simple pump • Use data acquisition software and sensors to measure EKG, heart rate, and blood pressure Funded by OMHS and OCTC

  14. Principles of Biomedical Science • Unit 3: Diabetes • Build calorimeter • Learn macromolecules • Understand glucose uptake Funded by OMHS and OCTC
