New Haven Public Schools

Our Nathan Hale 8th graders got a front-row seat to the future of science with special visits from the experts at Medtronic and Halda Therapeutics. From exploring biomechanics and medical devices to diving into the science of DNA and protein interactions for cancer research, our students saw exactly how their classroom lessons come to life. It wasn’t just a science lesson—it was a career preview! Students got to learn about the pathways into biomedical engineering and biotechnology, proving that the next big innovation could start right here. Huge thanks to our guest speakers for inspiring the next generation of innovators and to school counselor, Fidelma Keogh, for organizing this career awareness experience! #careerawareness #medtronic
