National Biomechanics Day (NBD) is an educational outreach event aimed at raising awareness of the field of biomechanics among high school students. NBD celebrations growing internationally acted as a catalyst for us to conduct the event in India, where STEM-based education is emphasized. With a truly global collaborative effort and perhaps historically for the first time, virtual and in-person NBD events were successfully conducted in India. The current article provides perspectives from different stakeholders from the collaborative team about the successes and challenges associated with conducting these events and the path forward to growing biomechanics in India and elsewhere.
全国生物力学日（NBD）是一项教育推广活动，旨在提高高中生对生物力学领域的认识。NBD 在国际上的庆祝活动促使我们在印度举办这项活动，因为印度强调基于 STEM 的教育。通过真正的全球合作努力，也许是有史以来第一次，印度成功举办了线上和线下的 NBD 活动。本文提供了来自合作团队不同利益相关者的观点，内容涉及举办这些活动的成功和挑战，以及在印度和其他地方发展生物力学的未来方向。
