001Yes. Okay, Mr. Leash. All right. Good evening everyone. Um, this is a really exciting time for me because I didn't know if we would ever get here. Um, the uh purchase of our anatomage tables is a very amazing addition to our curriculum. And um because I'm not an expert in this myself, I had to bring along the dream team with me. Um, and I'll introduce everyone in a moment. But just a little bit of background information. Last year we did a site visit to Walt Whin High School. We saw three of these Natamage tables in action. We saw how they integrated it into the curriculum. Mr. P uh was connected with one of the teachers over there um and you know was able to pick her brain about how they use this technology in their
002anatomy and physiology course. Um you know just one of the things that they did is they offer anatomy and physiology for college credit which we are actually going to be doing starting this September through LIU post. Um and that's fitting because these tables really do take it to the next level. So students are no longer just learning with static diagrams or models and now they get to see how the blood flows through the heart, how the electrical signals are transmitted through uh all the neural pathways and um you know to really bring this curriculum to life. Uh so these tables were uh acquired with the help from Ellen Herit and everyone in OIS. We were able to uh fund all three of these tables entirely through grant funding, which we're very excited about. And we
003had them officially delivered on October 11th. Um and everyone was really excited, including the delivery guys. They were all they were excited. They wanted to see what was in these crates. They wanted to see it fired up. We had two folks from Anatomage join us. One of them lives right in Queens. So, he is our point person. If we need something, he's going to come on out and give us a hand with understanding how to use these tables. Um, so I'm not going to steal all the thunder, but what I would like to do is just introduce everyone. Oops. So, we have Mr. P with us. He is one of our science teachers who teaches biology, anatomy, and physiology, and medical careers. And then he put together an amazing team of students who um he'll
004he'll be able to tell you a little bit more about everybody. Uh, but we have Jeremiah Bailey, Nila Khan, Haley Lopez Narez, Wayne Abigail, Noah Reyes, and Ashley Rivera Castro. And you can see that they are not all in the same grade. So this technology is uh farreaching. It is not just one class that we're focusing on. And uh what Mr. P will tell you and I'm going to steal a little bit of your thunder here is that um I am really I was floored when I learned that the kids were so interested in this that Mr. P developed a MCAT study group where kids are now just coming after school ranging from 9th to 12th grade and we're getting what 20 30 kids? Oh, at least 20 or 30 kids coming after school to
005play with the tables to get to know how these work. And um you know, when we go through the presentation, you'll hear some uh of their words. Um you know, the people that weren't able to make it tonight, you'll still get to hear a little bit from them. Um and with that, I'm going to turn it over to Mr. Fe so he can talk about how anatomage has been integrated into the big short. Thank you, Mr. Lee. I appreciate you guys giving us a little time today. We've been these like Mr. said our the tables were delivered in October and since we've had the deliveries of the tables we've really been kind of really stepping up um our roles and really trying to learn the technology and this is really a transformative learning experience. It's
006more than just a virtual 3D uh dissection tool. There is so much you can do in this um that it takes us to levels that they can accomplish in medical schools. I mean they're doing the same stuff in medical schools. I'll just give you an example. One of the things we can do these machines, not only are there five cadabvers that have been completely integrated into the machines, but there's over 1,500 CT and MRI scans from different patients that can teach us everything from read learning about diseases to the body parts to even actually learning how to read CT scans. I mean, I've had a student that's been working with this recently and they told me that like this is what's inspired them into trying to go into radiology, a radiology tech from my medical
007careers class because they were so interested in some of the CT scans and the MRI scans of which I'm learning too. I'm not familiar with every MRI scan there is. Uh so anyway, some of the things we've integrated this in already as you can see by a little presentation and we use this in living environment biology just like one of the things I found it really useful in living environment biology was the idea that kids can now get the taste that all of our systems our body systems work together and they're very integrated and when you teach that on a piece of paper and on notes they just see it as one single system but when you they see it in the the anatomiz table they can see all of the systems working together and
008the organs working together which is really fantastic. Uh of course we use it in anatomy physiology forensics it's found its way in forensics. There's an entire whole system on you know bones the skeletal system. We can go into malformmities in skeletal systems. We can even look at CTS and MRIs. We have gunshot wound victims in here. We have strangulation victims in here. They show the results of some of those injuries and what they do to the bodies in different systems. Also there's an AP and IB obviously an interaction here. We've had some students already actually some of our IB students using the tables after school to understand again the integration of the multiple systems working together and they've been using it actually to prepare for some of their tests which we're happy to do happy
009to do. Uh so how does the student feel about this? You know one of the things I'm seeing right off the bat is the increased engagement like like Mr. said we've actually started a club and the club just kind of started on its own really the it's not a club it's more like a study group now we're eventually going to hopefully make it a club u but it is something that like the students showed up for they wanted to be part of and it was it's just that that's something we haven't seen in a while and it was really nice to see that and we're getting we're actually getting more and more students the club or the social study group is continuing to grow as we come uh it's really good for career readiness I
010teach a medical careers class as well. I mean, we have two large hospitals right here. Why don't we take advantage of that? I don't see why how we're not even actually doing more programs with these two. We have two of the largest hospitals on the Southshore right here, five miles from us, both of them. We should have constant integration with those. And I think these boards will let us actually probably work up to the scale of where we need to be in some of our readest readiness classes. I can see these being definitely integrated into some sort of STEM classes and things like that definitely in the future. Um, tons of uploadable content. We have an anatomiz share which is a national uh website where we can I can share my work with with other
011teachers from around the country. I've been coordinating stuff right now with a a woman in Santa Barbara, California. She's been doing some really great stuff with the endocrine system and sending me some of her work and I in turn trying to send some stuff back as I learn and make some more of my own. Uh so the anatomy share is a really nice platform for for teachers to share and collaborate with and then of course there's a ton of cross-cultural potential here too like crosscurriculum we can work with um we can work with phys uh AP psych APs psych does an entire unit on the nervous system as a matter of fact I brought in a couple of the teachers and showed them what we can do and how we can dissect the brain and
012they're very interested in that so that's something that we can use this as a cross cutting tool. I've been speaking a lot and I don't want to spend too much time on this um because I want to get the the kids to actually show you some of the stuff we've been doing in class. As you can see, my students are on these boards as much as we can get them on these boards. Uh they're really interactive. They can work in these nice teams, two, four, six. You can even get up to eight kids on a board at once. And there's spots for them and they can do a lot of work. We um we do group work or individual work. You can even program in quizzes which we hope to have you guys join us
013in taking one after at the end of might be a little bit of fun. So here's a couple of um of my students statements. Not guys that are here. These are some other students that I've had in some of my classes. As you can see that all of them have been nothing but raving about the about the um anatom tables. A lot of them really talk about the idea that it's really helped them visualize things much better. Of course, right? Anyone could look at a piece of paper and say, "Oh, this is the liver." But really, that's not what the liver looks like. It doesn't look like that at all until you look at it onto in an anatomy u an anatomiz. So, um my students have been really happy. Most of them really can't
014wait to get on the tables and to integrate what they've learned in class and use it and try to figure out little case scenarios and labs that we do all of the time. Um, so what I'd like to do because I know our time is limited and we have a bunch of demonstrations. I'm going to start us off by introducing Ashley and Haley. Ashley and Haley give us a little bit of a a little demonstration on some of the cadaavvers that we can load that are preloaded into our virtual reality tables. All right. Good afternoon everyone. My name is Ashley Rivera. My name is Haley Lopez. And today we're going to we're excited to show you one of our most advanced features on our Animos table, which is the fundamental anatomy preset featuring a real
015human cadaabver named Hans. So this is Han and a fully digitalized cadaabver that lets us study real human anatomy layer by layer. So today we're going to show you how to remove each layer one by one. So for example, this would be the muscular layer. And then as we keep going, we get to see more and more of all the tissues in our body. For example, if we tap on an organ like the illiam, it gets highlighted and you can see its name pop up that kind of like isolates it from everything else that's around it. And another tool we can use is a measuring tool which measures the size of the of each organ or body part which is useful when we're comparing normal anatomy to conditions like enlargement or diseases. For example that
016we could use dissection tool which allows us to virtually dissect spawns. We can do this by removing organ or painful layers of of tissue. So today we are going to dissect his abdominal area. So this is going to show a few seconds to load. the larger the the area you dissect, it takes a little bit longer, of course. Okay. So, here you see the layer of skin. This is the muscle area. So, just by tap tissue layer by layer and as you see it shows the name of each tissue that we keep going all the So you can not only dissect a section but then remove layer by layer a section. We could even take this further. We don't have time now, but you can actually remove an entire organ, remove tissue from the organ
017cells, and there's an entire hisystologology area which pulls up a microscope, and then you can look at the cells really that make up the organs without a microscope, and it allows and it allows us to compare like what my what a squam what like a cancer cell might look like as opposed to a normal cell. And it's really a fantastic little we just started learning about the hisytologology. It's a little bit of a higher level, but we're really getting into it. Yeah, it's really fantastic. Oh, this is absolutely. Yeah, like I said, it's really transformed it. It really has. It's an amazing device. And as a visual person, like, right. Oh, it's incredible. Yeah, that's I'm very visual. I have to see the things. I like to read. I don't like to listen. So, this
018is amazing, right? You can imagine teaching anatomy and physiology on a you know on a board on a two-dimensional structure. This is this this is this. It gets very difficult. This is a game changer. Complete game changer. Yeah. I like the table has helped us truly understand human anatomy and it's inspired many of us to pursue careers in med medicine, biology and healthcare. So, um, you can see that with diagrams and paper, it's not really the same as on an anatomical 3D board of the human body. Thank you for investing. [Applause] You're good. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Nila Khan. I'm a current AP chemistry student and also a founder of the MCAT study group. And my name is Noah Reyes and I'm also a chem student and a founder of Now,
019as you've already heard, there are countless features on the anatomage table, and we can't go through all them, but we do want to introduce you to our cardiology module, as you can see over there. What here we are looking at an 3D model of the heart. And on this model, I can isolate the chambers, the valves, and even um speed up and slow down the heart rate. See right here, if you click here, you see the right ventricle. This is your right atrium. And you can make your heart rate slower and you can see the heart rate actually slow down or you can make it faster and see the heart rate actually speed up. So is this is this Bluetooth into this? Yes. It's a always be right. Exactly. They can we can even use
020HDMI and it doesn't always have to be vertical. The tables can all lie down. But while it's t down in my head I was like how how many people around there? If you can throw it up on the board, as many of us could sitter on the board. Yeah. Wow. And as you said before, this is really helpful for me as a visual learner because in school, we learn about the blood flow on like a little piece of paper and you hear like, oh, the blood flows from the right to the right ventricle to the lungs. But on the anatomage table, you could actually see the blood flow. And as you see here, those are your blood cells. You guys can see the little red flow. And they actually direct show you the direction of
021them as well. And then this is the Gi fibers. And this shows you the electrical components of the heart as well. What you are not seeing, I'm sorry to blow this up on you guys. What you're not seeing is on the other screen, they can actually they're seeing an EKG, an ECG, and they're learning how an ECG reads the electrical potential of the heart. So, we're able to learn ECG, something we wouldn't be able to class. As you can see here, um the blue blood cells are your deoxxygenated blood cells. Those are going towards your lungs and they come out as the red oxygenated blood cells that are going to go towards your body. So obviously the heart is an essential organizing and timing is everything. This helps me because it helps me understand the
022coordination of the valves, chambers and electrical coordination in a I could never get from an oldfashioned textbook. Speaking of the electrical conductivity of your heart, we could also see that on the anomal I could turn off the blood flow here. And if you see the yellow that is the electro connectivity flowing through your perkingi fibers. Can also isolate it. So I could just look at this right. You could just isolate the electrical flow as well. So it all starts at your sino atrial node. Every single time it's triggered, a heartbeat is formed. As a student planning to enter the health care um professions, this tool gave me a head start. I not only understand the heart in a biological way, but also in the clinical context. Um it helped me make sense of heart murmurs,
023arhythmias, and how CPR supports circulation. The anatom has transferred the transformed the abstract concepts in the medical world to something that I can actually interact with and control. It's truly revolutionalized my learning abilities. It's not only about passing tests, but it's also um thinking like healthcare professionals. Great job. Thank you. I can't believe you guys are only in 10th grade. Your students a great job. They really are. Right.
