National Biomechanics Day is a celebration of biomechanics that will be held simultaneously in university labs across New Zealand on 3 April 2017. The movement began in the US as a way to expose secondary school students to hands on experiential learning activities centred around biomechanics research. The event has become so popular that National Biomechanics Day is being celebrated by thousands of students and teachers across international borders, including UK, Canada, Brazil, and NEW ZEALAND!
