Offered as part of the school's technology curriculum, the session on endoscopes and cancer was conducted by an Olympus team following an introductory lecture on digitalization by the school's faculty. The students were then asked to maneuver endoscopes through training models, leading to a lot of wows and cheers as they successfully spotted polyps. After their hands-on experience, the students were divided into smaller groups to discuss the topics introduced during the lecture, and then present their discussion outcomes. |
