My STEAM project is an overview of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, and a comparison of a healthy motor neuron and a dead motor neuron as a result of ALS. The class objective that this relates to is “know how a muscle contraction is induced”.

For my project I decided to focus on how using an EMS (electrical muscle stimulation) machine helps in improving muscle and endurance. It also helps in the long term with recovery.

My STEAM project shows the affects of Osteoporosis. I made a healthy and strong looking femur and then one that has osteoporosis. As you can see, the unhealthy version is much more pitted than the healthy femur and more prone to fractures.

My project was on scoliosis. In this art piece, you can see how scoliosis affects the body whether it is from how the rib cage is different from one that doesn’t have scoliosis, the curvature of the spine, and this curvature of the spin also shows how the body would …

In this STEAM project, I chose to draw nerves, one being normal, and the other affected by multiple sclerosis. Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease that attacks the myelin sheath of neurons, particularly of the central nervous system (CNS).

When examining these models of teeth on the left side you can tell that the gums are discolored with yellow which resembles plaque build-up. In addition to redness that shows sores …

For my STEAM Project, I focused on Achilles Tendinitis. The first photo shows a perfect, healthy Achilles tendon. The two middle pictures show the different Grade stages of how Achilles Tendinitis rupture occurs and how it’s affecting the gastrocnemius, calcaneus, and collagen network structure. The last picture shows how the bone development is repaired back into a healthy and working Achilles tendon by surgery where the tendon will be stitched back together.
