Over the course of four weeks, students from West High School and Skyline High School and a homeschooled junior year student were given an introduction to image-based modeling (IBM) as part of the SCI Institute Summer Internship. This course, which is given to undergraduate students during the academic year, was customized to fit the high school students' level. The goal of this internship was to help the students understand how computational simulation is used in the biomedical field to improve our knowledge of the body, allowing researchers to collaborate with medical doctors to provide patient-specific treatment solutions.
