3D Art students explore how multi-dimensional space, materials, and digital media can bring narratives to life in a visit to the Wex Center for the Arts. Exhibits focused on cultural identity and colonial history, West African botany, and movement in space inspire students to look beyond how materials are used to how they help us "see" our world.

Real Skill-Building: Staff from OSU Physical Therapy @osuhrs and Metro alumnus Salma Abubakar teach HBS students to use goniometers to measure joint movement and how body positioning, flexibility, and muscle tension can affect range of motion. Through hands-on practice, professional feedback, and real-time corrections, students connect what they learned about bones, muscles, and joints to the techniques healthcare professionals use to assess patient mobility.

Real-World Problem-Solving: Bodies students put on their investigator hats as they analyzed DNA sequences, used BLAST to identify genetic matches, performed ELISA testing, and collaborated to determine the pathogen causing an infection. They discovered just how much precision, data, and multiple testing methods go into identifying diseases, and that solving the mystery isn’t as simple as it seems! @Erika Kildow Reeves @MetroSchool

Career exploration is more meaningful when students interact with professionals and practice relevant skills. We're grateful to Dr. Tarek Hammad from @mvdsmiles for supporting the next generation of healthcare professionals by sharing insights from his personal training and experiences. Bodies B students learned about the skills and responsibilities associated with dentistry and how it combines biomedical science, technical precision, critical thinking, patient communication and teamwork.

Immersive Learning + Real-World Problem Solving = Math at Metro! Algebra 1 classes stepped into the world of aviation through PRISMS VR, exploring the question: How can an airline predict whether it has enough money to maintain all of its planes each month? Students used multiplication, variables, equations in standard form, intercepts, and graphs to model an airline’s monthly maintenance budget and determine which combinations of short- and long-haul planes could fit within a fixed budget. Beyond solving equations on paper, students interacted with a real-world scenario to apply learning.

Bodies Pathway students connect classroom learning to real human anatomy and healthcare through visits to the OSU Cadaver Lab and Lifeline of Ohio. They saw first hand how donors can give hope to families and learned that healthcare is not just about clinical facts - it's about “the people behind it” and respecting the dignity of every individual. Special thanks to Dr. Hanna, Sarah Melke, Jenny Hudak and Trish.

Real World Skill Building: HBS students get hands-on practice with thermometers, blood pressure sphygmomanometer, pulse oximeters, and stethoscopes and learn how even small details can change a reading. Most importantly, they are connecting accurate measurements to real patient care and experiencing why healthcare professionals need both knowledge and skill.
