My Senior Project

My senior project idea is to raise money for new anatomy models for the science room. Our science room has old, outdated models and I realized we need some new models. Doctors and just about any profession in the medical field use models to explain to patients their injuries. It makes it a whole lot easier to visualize what is happening compared to being told what is happening. Most people learn better visually so I would like to take the chance to get models for kids at Oakbrook to learn human Anatomy much easier. It would show kids first hand where certain organs are, what they look like, and what the inside of a human really looks like. For the research portion of the project I would shadow a Physicians Assistant at the Spartanburg Regional Hospital. Then to get the money for the models I would call and send letters to companies that the PA Im shadowing knows. Also, my dad works for a company that is in the medical field and I can send a letter to his company and ask for money or talk to his boss. Overall I want new models at Oakbrook to encourage better hands on learning, so kids understand science more thoroughly.
