This was a real highlight of last year - such an exciting project to work on!

We are currently working on developing this project into a Teacher Pack to send out to schools

@Buildbodyparts is a #PartnershipFrants project where students from @VictoriaEdin have learnt about tissue engineering from using microscopes to observe cells in tissues to using 3D printers to design and print replacement “body parts”. #SummerScience

We are delighted to have Ciara working with us here at @Buildbodyparts with the @NuffieldFound for her summer project. Ciara is helping us produce even more resources to share Tissue Engineering with primary schools! Watch this space!

Some great examples of what could be done with #3Dbioprinting to help @Buildbodyparts

Since I was having an incredibly bad day, this young man here printed some colourful 3D noses to make my day better😃 Such amazing talent with a beautiful heart is what makes your day!❤️ Thanks a lot @BTerhaard @Paxton_Lab

@Mr_Minchin @STEM_Edin @STEAMFife @STEMscotland @STEMEduc @STEMLearningUK @NASASTEM @dailystem Great to see the microscopes from our @royalsociety funding being used outside the original @Buildbodyparts project. So pleased this project has a lasting contribution to STEM in @VictoriaEdin #stem #science #legacy

Here’s what P7 thought about tissue-engineering after a short intro to our project....I wonder what they will put that the end!
