Welcome to our public repository of scientific lessions!

National Biomechanics Day at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) is a student-led organization, aiming to provide scientific outreach opportunities and tools to a broader community. This site provides access to several biomechanics lessions we have offered in the past. These lessons are appropriate for a general K-12 audience, but is best suited for students grades 7 and above.

The contents of this repository is structured by the broad category that lessons fit into, such as:

1. Cardiovascular system

2. Human locomotion

Within each category there may be several lessons. In each lesson, we provide include all the resources required to teach the content and reproduce any devices/learning tools involved. This includes 3D printed CAD files, code/software, as well as a list of materials to purchase. Our goal is to ensure that teaching materials are low-cost and accessible.

Each lesson contains details regarding its contents and intended audience, as shown here:
