The University of BC has created a massive human colon replica to help students learn and diagnose colon irregularities.
A picture of the inflatable piece of human anatomy was recently posted onto the UBC Twitter account. Judging by the photograph, it almost looks to be a piece you would find at a local science exhibit.
The huge replica is said to be filled with imitation diseases and medical issues that the students are to try and diagnose. As one can see by the picture, the colon looks to have some serious problems. This kind of learning environment put on by the University of BC is a fun way to really get students involved. What scholar doesn’t want to walk through a giant colon in the pursuit of knowledge?

Trend Themes
1. Immersive Anatomy Learning - The trend towards immersive anatomy learning experiences presents opportunities for creating interactive, hands-on exhibits that make education more engaging and fun.
2. Replication of Human Organs - As medical education seeks to create more accurate and realistic simulations for students, there is an opportunity for creating replicas of human organs to aid in the study of various diseases and medical issues.
3. Gamification of Medical Education - The trend towards gamification of medical education is an opportunity for creating fun and interactive learning experiences that increase student engagement and help solidify knowledge retention.
Industry Implications
1. Education - Creating immersive anatomy exhibits presents an opportunity for educational institutions to provide more engaging learning experiences for students.
2. Medical Education - Replicas of human organs and gamification of medical education can enhance the students' understanding of medical practices and help prepare them for real-world scenarios.
3. Science Exhibits - The trend towards immersive anatomy exhibits presents an opportunity for science exhibits to add more interactive and engaging displays to their offerings.
