3D Art students explore how multi-dimensional space, materials, and digital media can bring narratives to life in a visit to the Wex Center for the Arts. Exhibits focused on cultural identity and colonial history, West African botany, and movement in space inspire students to look beyond how materials are used to how they help us "see" our world.

Real Skill-Building: Staff from OSU Physical Therapy @osuhrs and Metro alumnus Salma Abubakar teach HBS students to use goniometers to measure joint movement and how body positioning, flexibility, and muscle tension can affect range of motion. Through hands-on practice, professional feedback, and real-time corrections, students connect what they learned about bones, muscles, and joints to the techniques healthcare professionals use to assess patient mobility.

Real-World Problem-Solving: Bodies students put on their investigator hats as they analyzed DNA sequences, used BLAST to identify genetic matches, performed ELISA testing, and collaborated to determine the pathogen causing an infection. They discovered just how much precision, data, and multiple testing methods go into identifying diseases, and that solving the mystery isn’t as simple as it seems! @Erika Kildow Reeves @MetroSchool

Career exploration is more meaningful when students interact with professionals and practice relevant skills. We're grateful to Dr. Tarek Hammad from @mvdsmiles for supporting the next generation of healthcare professionals by sharing insights from his personal training and experiences. Bodies B students learned about the skills and responsibilities associated with dentistry and how it combines biomedical science, technical precision, critical thinking, patient communication and teamwork.
