Hey guys, need some help on brainstorming.

I’m a senior med student, and my school just asked me to organize a one-hour interactive session for high-school kids interested in medicine.

My question: what would have caught your interest in high school?

some ideas my school suggested included the usual:
- suturing
- playing with ultrasound
- seeing cadavers
- stethoscopes with heart sounds

These are all pretty standard. Looking for some unique ideas too…I want it to be really cool, and to at least peak their interest in the medical field. Any suggestions would be super helpful.

Thanks a ton!

I had a class last year where we went to the hospital every day and had interactive things like this. I thought the most fun ones were suturing, "Surgery" on a melon using a scope and picking out the seeds, and seeing/holding different organs.
