Youth Technical Program
Biomedical Engineering: Robotics in Real Life

Engineering offers the processes, methods, and mindsets to create practical changes and innovations in the physical world around us, from designing and building bridges, making airplanes more fuel efficient, or masterminding the electronics in our cars! Biomedical engineering applies these principles to medicine and healthcare, creating solutions that improve people’s health and daily lives, engineering devices such as hearing aids, artificial joints, and heart monitors.
Join us on August 19 for the 2025 Youth Technical Program of the IEEE EMC+SIPI Symposium in Raleigh, NC, where we’ll learn about the intersection of engineering and medicine and create our own precursor to real-life prosthetics — a robotic arm model!
Open to children ages 6-19. Younger participants are welcome if accompanied by an older sibling or parent. Please sign up via the registration portal.
