              HealthReach is a design course with the aim to teach math and science to hospitalized children using their own disease as the motivation and springboards for learning. The course is a unique opportunity for undergraduate students to be challenged to create interactive teaching modules for complex math and science principles and spend time working directly with children ages K-12. The first semester, students will work directly with families staying at the Atlanta Ronald McDonald House and students in North Fulton County Schools. Subsequent semesters, students will have the opportunity to have one-on-one patient interaction at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. This depth elective course aims to familiarize students to the program, with the hope that students remain with HealthReach during following semesters as volunteers and course leaders.  (Note: this class was previously BMED 4843)
