Join Today's Workshop at Association for Career and Technical Education ACTE CareerTech VISION!

Don’t miss another hands-on anatomy workshop with Anatomy in Clay® Learning System instructor Carolyn Hess!

🦵 Workshop:Hands-On Knee Anatomy: Build with Clay and Models
📅 Thursday
⏰ 3:00 - 3:45 PM
📍 Ryman Studio 5–6
Ga***rd Opryland Resort & Convention Center

In this interactive session, participants will explore the musculoskeletal anatomy of the knee by building its key structures—bones, muscles, ligaments, and tendons—using clay and skeletal models. This tactile activity helps attendees visualize how the joint functions while deepening understanding of movement and stability.

The session will also highlight common knee injuries and practical approaches to injury prevention, making it valuable for CTE health science educators at both secondary and postsecondary levels.

🎤 Speaker: Carolyn Hess, Biology and Anatomy & Physiology teacher at Keiser University and Southeastern College

Designed for educators with some foundational experience in the topic, this workshop offers engaging, high-impact instruction you can bring back to your classroom.

Come experience anatomy the hands-on way!
