Hoxsie School fourth graders who are studying the human heart as part of the School Department’s new ELA curriculum had the opportunity to examine functional engineering valve and chamber systems to illustrate how the heart pumps blood through the body. The STEM activity was made possible by Ross McLendon, software engineering senior manager at Dassault Sytemes (DS), an international software company with offices in Johnston and whose daughter Carolyn and son Ethan are Hoxsie students. Assisting him in the classroom presentation was DS colleague Ilya Methot. DS has developed the “Living Heart Project” that McLendon and Methot used in their presentation. As part of the exercise, students used pumps to watch how the heart valve system works. In addition they experienced a variety of 3D visualization tools including 3D displays and VR glasses to examine and interact with the DS Living Heart model in more detail.
