National Future Day 2024@DBE
On the occasion of the National Future Day 2024, 23 curious children between 11 to 13 years came to us on 14 November to take a deep dive into the world of biomedical engineering and learn more about DBE research.
Our guests immersed themselves inside the human body in Virtual Reality, learned about the state of the art of Artificial Intelligence in medicine, dived into a laser maze, x-rayed a chocolate surprise egg to see what was hidden inside without opening it, they designed their own key ring in the 3D printing lab and went home with a DBE Future Day trophy. It was our genuine pleasure to get to know the next generation of researchers!
The Swiss National Future Day is all about changing sides: girls and boys are given practical insights into professions and areas of work in which their gender is underrepresented. The Future Day encourages them to focus on their individual interests and talents when choosing a career and to question prejudices.
