Hands On Learning Workshop: My Healthy Body

If you're visiting The Tech Museum of Innovation in downtown San Jose then be sure to check out the new hands-on workshop, My Healthy Body. Just head towards the back of Net Planet Gallery , near Arm Wrestling (Lower Level) and actively get involved in the following activities and programs: 

  • Move your body with high-tech exercise at the Wii Fit station.
  • De-stress with the emWave Stress Relief System.
  • Measure your body fat, pulse, and more at the My Healthy Body station. 
  • Hands-On Digestion: follow the (messy) path of food through the human body from the beginning to the very end.
  • What Goes in Your Lunchbox?: get your Fat Facts and Sugar Smarts.
  • pHysical Experimentation: use a simple pH test kit to see how jumping around affects how the body processes oxygen into carbon dioxide.
