Expand your high school students' horizons and give them hands-on experience in UW-Stout's state-of-the-art cadaver lab. Groups of up to 24 high school students will spend 75 minutes exploring the heart; central, nervous, digestive, and musculoskeletal systems; and full body. Layers of skin, muscles, veins, and organs will all be visible, and some organs will be passed around the group to allow for close-up investigation. In addition to these lab experiences, high school groups will have the opportunity to tour UW-Stout's campus, meet with admissions, and eat lunch in the Price Commons dining hall.
Recommended for high school AP Biology and Anatomy classes. One chaperone for every 10 students is required.
By combining up-close lab work with on-campus experiences, this program goes far beyond teaching students practical skills. It shows emerging scientists that they are capable of working in a college environment and offers a chance to explore campus with a group they already know.
