complete tasks and make up for each other in helping eachother.Hands-on activitiesAs a complement to the virtual experience, the system provides a series of hands-on activitiescentered on human functions. These simple experiments enrich the learning experience andprovide concrete models that correspond to theoretical concepts. A variety of hands-on activitiesrelated to the human body will develop engaging lessons and interactive activities to educate andinspire the next generation of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) professionals.The target audience for this project is middle school students in grades 6-8. Various areas ofSTEM are demonstrated through three activities themed around the human heart. Subtopicsinclude how the heart
