This year, Ohio State's Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) will be hosting its 6th annual Bio-Hack, a weekend-long hackathon full of engineering, learning, networking, and innovation.

The theme for this year's Bio-Hack is prosthetics. 1 in 10 Americans aren't able to afford a prosthetic due to financial constraints. This year we are challenging participants to devise a solution to balance cost and functionality to make mobility more accessible.

Bio-Hack gives engineers and clinicians a unique, experiential learning opportunity to build and engineer health technologies.

How it works?

Teams can take inspiration from challenges presented by our supporting companies and organizations. After the 24-hour "hacking" session is over, teams present their projects to industry experts and judges to get feedback and compete for prizes.

Hacking Challenge

Given the increasing number of patients that cannot afford a prosthetic, we urge participants to come up with a cost-efficient solution
