The New York Academy of Sciences (the Academy) partnered with MacGillivray Freeman Films to bring science, technology, and the wonders of the human body to students around New York City.
Hundreds of eyes watched eagerly, shaded by 3D glasses, as simulated blood flowed through arteries, its race through the human body flying off screen. The students were transfixed, watching from each seat in a sold-out IMAX theater as “Superhuman Body: World of Medical Marvels” flashed before them. The screening was part of a series in a city-wide initiative occurring February through May, to connect school children with working scientists and to use the film to engage with STEM education.
