| Description | Students learn about the current applications and limitations of 3D bioprinting—and its amazing future potential. They review concepts about differing cell functions and multicellular organism complexity. Through a PowerPoint® presentation, they learn about three bioprinter types, tissue engineering basics and the steps to design printed replacement tissues. Students learn about the current applications and limitations of 3D bioprinting, as well as its amazing future potential. This lesson, and its fun associated activity, provides a unique way to review and explore concepts such as differing cell functions, multicellular organism complexity, and engineering design steps. As introduced through a PowerPoint® presentation, students learn about three different types of bioprinters, with a focus on the extrusion model. Then they learn the basics of tissue engineering and the steps to design printed tissues. This background information prepares students to conduct the associated activity in which they use mock-3D bioprinters composed of a desktop setup that uses bags of icing to “bioprint” replacement skin, bone and muscle for a fictitious trauma patient, Bill. A pre/post-quiz is also provided. |
