19. K-12 Outreach: Experiential Learning in Human Factors With Laparoscopic Surgery Trainer Box
SessionPoster Session 2
DescriptionOutreach programs can inspire curiosity fostering creativity in K-12 students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education. They can play a pivotal role in getting students to pursue further studies or careers in STEM-related fields. By providing hands-on experiences and exposure to real-world applications, these programs bridge the gap between classroom learning and practical engagement. The research team has developed a short experiential learning module built on training tasks in the Fundamental of Laparoscopic Surgery curriculum for K-12 students to learn about fundamental concepts in medical science, training and expertise, workstation design, teleoperations, statistics, and gamification/motivation. This outreach module is derived from a research project on studying expertise, illustrating the potential of translating a research platform into a outreach platform. In an ever-evolving technological world, our outreach module derived from research can serve as catalysts to develop students’ abilities to think analytically, problem solve, and adapt to challenges.
