NeuroMaker's strong industry integration stems from its foundation in developing advanced prosthetic technologies, which directly inform its educational tools. The EMG sensors in the BioSensor Kit are derived from real prosthetic applications, enabling students to engage with authentic muscle signal measurements. Similarly, the EEG headband employs machine learning to process brainwave data, reflecting current practices in neuroscience and brain-computer interface research. By incorporating these industry-grade components, NeuroMaker provides students with hands-on experience that bridges classroom learning and real-world biomedical engineering.

Using semi-supervised machine learning, our 8-channel EMG band—designed for real prosthetic applications—can interpret and learn a user's intent, enabling precise control of individual fingers, just like a natural hand. The EMG module included in the BioSensor Kit is directly taken from this industry-grade technology, empowering students to learn, code, and innovate.

Additionally, the NeuroMaker BCI, our EEG headband leverages machine learning to process raw EEG data, utilizing neural network-based classification to accurately assess focus and meditation levels.

NeuroMaker is designed for a wide audience, from middle and high school students to educators with varying levels of expertise. Its adaptability allows it to fit into various programs, including core STEM classes, CTE initiatives, and after-school enrichment activities.

Teachers with minimal technical experience can confidently use NeuroMaker’s comprehensive resources, including one-page lesson plans, student lab notes, and professional development modules. For advanced educators, NeuroMaker provides tools to explore complex topics like brainwave data analysis and AI integration.

By bridging the gap between classroom learning and industry standards, NeuroMaker ensures that all students—regardless of background—have the opportunity to explore careers in STEM fields.

• 6th grade-12th grade

• CTE programs, after school programs, maker space, fablabs, and STEM classrooms

• STEAM newcomers and STEM rockstars

Building a NeuroMaker classroom involves balancing resources and student engagement. The program recommends a 2:1 or 3:1 student-to-equipment ratio, ensuring hands-on learning experiences. Each setup includes hardware like the NeuroMaker Hand or BCI headband, paired with browser-based coding platforms that eliminate the need for additional software installations.

Scalability is a key feature of NeuroMaker, allowing schools to start small and expand as needed. Professional development options, such as the NeuroMaker e-learning suite, equip educators with the knowledge to integrate these tools effectively. Live technical support and online resources further simplify implementation.

By fostering connections between classroom learning and industry practices, NeuroMaker prepares students for future STEM careers. Whether through coding challenges, prosthetics design, or brainwave-controlled devices, students gain skills that are both practical and inspiring.
