Cartilage Tissue Engineering Lab at UCSD
Outreach

The Cartilage Tissue Engineering Lab is committed to outreach - to providing activities for K-12 students, parents, and teachers to learn about science, engineering, and research, and to expanding the awareness about the wonders of cartilage, synovial fluid, and joints in health, and also the challenges in arthritis and joint injury.

For more information regarding future outreach opportunities related to the lab, please contact Brad Hansen, bchansen@ucsd.edu.

7/28/2009 - CTE Research Included in SDSC Genomics Workshop
The CTE lab had a unique opportunity to connect with high school teachers from around the country. The teachers came from as far as Wisconsin to a Genomics Workshop hosted by the San Diego Supercomputer Center. The CTE lab invited the 8 teachers to see how genomics is used in the laboratory setting.
4/4/2009 - CTE Lab Researchers Host Lab Tours during Admit Day
UCSD hosted the annual Admit Day, an event intended to inspire prospective college school students to attend UCSD, introduce them to campus facilities, and provide information for intended degree programs. The CTE lab participated in Admit Day by opening its doors to the prospective students.
2/18/2009 - CTE Lab Undergraduates Host Lab Tours during ENSPIRE
Each year during Engineering Week at UCSD, the Triton Engineering Student Council hosts ENSPIRE, an outreach event with the goal of inspiring middle school students to pursue science and engineering degrees in college.
1/23/2009 - CTE Lab at the First Annual BMES Lab Fair
CTE researchers helped inaugurate the Annual UCSD Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) Lab Fair. The Lab Fair was initiated by BMES to facilitate communication between freshmen and sophomores in Bioengineering and research labs within the department. Thanks to all those who visited the CTE table!
1/10/2009 - TESC Girls' Day Out at CTE Lab
The CTE lab has participated in another TESC outreach event: Girls Day Out. This new program was organized to encourage girls to pursue science and engineering degrees in college.
