2016 Bio-Med Tech-Girls

The 3rd annual Bio-Med Tech-Girls happened the week of August 8. The program is a collaboration with the UVa Department of Biomedical Engineering (BME), St. Anne's-Belfield School and Tech-Girls. This year the experience was led by a team of 3 BME undergraduates working with the UVA Children’s Hospital to improve the mobility and offer tools for the socialization of children with complex medical conditions.

Many thanks!!!

Bio-Med Tech-Girls is possible because of the generous support of the UVA BME department, St. Anne's-Belfield School, Charlottesville Women in Tech and UVA i.Lab. We are also very thankful for the many UVA faculty, staff and students who share their time and passion about solving problems through biomedical engineering.
