ATLAS Facility: Colourful 3D printed bones used in local primary school

Last week we launched the first of several studies that are aiming to use our new collection of 3D printed bones from the ATLAS Facility to teach anatomy in primary schools.

Katie Robertson, a final year Anatomy & Development student, ran a study looking at the effect of using colourful bones for teaching the anatomy of the upper limb to pupils in Victoria Primary School, Edinburgh. She was accompanied by her project supervisor, Dr Jennifer Paxton, and they had lots of fun introducing the pupils to anatomy!
