Student engagement in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) through informal outreach events is critical to the current educational pipeline. National Biomechanics Day (NBD) is a STEM outreach event that is an international celebration of the science of biomechanics with the goal of introducing high school students to the field. While NBD has experienced global success and substantial growth in recent years, it is an equally rewarding and challenging endeavor to host an NBD event. In this paper, we provide recommendations and mechanisms for biomechanics professionals to support their success in hosting biomechanics outreach events. Although these guidelines are framed around hosting an NBD event, the underlying principles can apply to hosting any STEM outreach event.
学生参与科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）领域的非正式外展活动对于当前的教育渠道至关重要。国家生物力学日（NBD）是一项 STEM 外展活动，是对生物力学科学的国际庆祝活动，旨在向高中生介绍该领域。虽然 NBD 近年来在全球范围内取得了成功并取得了显著增长，但举办 NBD 活动同样是一项富有回报和挑战的努力。在本文中，我们为生物力学专业人员提供了一些建议和机制，以支持他们成功举办生物力学外展活动。尽管这些准则是围绕举办 NBD 活动制定的，但基本原则也适用于举办任何 STEM 外展活动。
