Summer School of Biomedicine: High School Students Experienced Science Hands-On

On June 9-11, 2025, the Summer School of Biomedicine took place at the Department of Biomedical Engineering of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Communication BUT (Brno University of Technology). The event, which attracted enthusiastic high school students, offered a unique opportunity to dive into the world of modern science, technology, and medicine — all in a playful, practical, and accessible format.

The summer school program was packed with laboratory workshops, during which participants personally experienced what the work of a biomedical engineer entails. Students worked with electronics, measured their own biosignals, programmed a tool for eye segmentation, discovered how much their DNA genetically differs from dinosaurs, and engaged with imaging methods. Modern technologies were also represented through 3D bioprinting and even bioprinting. Participants also processed tomographic volume data of the heart and familiarized themselves with bioprinting techniques using a pneumatic extruder.

The summer school was held in an inspiring and friendly atmosphere. Students became acquainted with work in cutting-edge laboratories, glimpsed behind the scenes of biomedical research, and many of them left with the decision to connect their career growth with science and research.

"We prepare the Summer School of Biomedicine with the goal of showing prospective students at FEEC BUT that enormous potential is hidden at the intersection of medicine and technology," said Oto Janoušek, the event organizer.

Thanks to the great interest and positive feedback, the Institute of Biomedical Engineering plans to continue the summer school next year as well, so if you already know that you would like to participate in the event, follow the social media of FEEC or the institute itself, so you don't miss the registration for the next edition.
