The goal of PTEI middle school summer camp is to actively engage middle school students in the highly interdisciplinary field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Campers are challenged to utilize regenerative medicine strategies to repair a serious injury of star athlete, LeBron James, in order that he can return to peak performance.The tissue engineering camp was replicated with high school students at North Carolina A&T University as a component of their outreach within their National Science Foundation/Engineering Research Center grant, "Revolutionizing Metallic Biomaterials."
The project described is partially funded by a Science Education Partnership Award from the National Center for Research Resources, a component of the National Institutes of Health (Grant Number 1 R25 RR023286), and its contents are solely the responsibility of the authors and do not necessarily represent the official views of NCRR or NIH.
