Help us raise the remaining $20,000 to purchase an Anatomage Table for the High School Science Department.

  

Education is the cornerstone of a thriving community, and at Shrewsbury Public Schools, we are dedicated to providing an exceptional learning experience for every student. Through its Annual Fund, the Colonial Fund, Shrewsbury Public Schools supports innovation, education, exploration and special projects throughout the district. 

An Anatomage Table brings state-of-the-art technology to Shrewsbury High School's Science program and positions it among the exclusive few in our region who are equipped with the same teaching tool as universities and medical schools.

                                     

Help us raise the $80,000 needed to bring this amazing Table to Shrewbury High School.

Did you know? Research has shown that learners who utilize the Anatomage Table are better equipped to enter the healthcare profession, thanks to its immersive and effective learning experience (NIH, Kavvadia EM, Katsoula I, Angelis S, Filippou D. The Anatomage Table: A Promising Alternative in Anatomy Education. Cureus. 2023 Aug 6;15(8):e43047).

The purchase of an Anatomage table allows students to explore and manipulate the scans of 5 real human cadavers (3 male, 2 female) along with 309 animals.  Students can isolate and explore systems and organs magnified to a resolution of 0.2mm with some regional tissues going to a depth of 0.05mm.  Students can simulate a number of unique conditions such as pregnancy and heart blocks along with comparing over 1300 real scans of normal and abnormal tissues and organs.  Furthermore, the table is mobile – ensuring that it can be moved to multiple classrooms.  All of the 1,850+ high school students who take courses in Biology, Human Anatomy, and Principles of Biomedical Science will benefit, as well as students in future courses starting next year, in our planned Biomedical and Life Sciences Innovation Career Pathway program.
