What the CTE Pathway
is NOT
• A call for every student to be a CTE student
• An attempt to limit student choice and develop
tracks
• A call for a separate CTE pathway independent of
other equally viable educational experiences and
pathways (Brindisi Bill)
• Abandoning the Common Core State Learning
Standards
• Adding more assessments
• Fulfilling the interests of Business and Industry

Brain Boot Camp
The Jacobs Institute
2015-2016 School Year
Brain Boot Camp
The Jacobs Institute
2015-2016 School Year
The Jacobs Institute mission is to create the
next generation of medical technology to
improve the treatment of vascular diseases—
such as heart attack and stroke—in Western
New York and beyond, while creating jobs
and developing future leaders.
Brain Boot Camp seeks to educate students
about heart attack and stroke, while inspiring
them to consider careers in health and
science to give back to the WNY community.
Our program is free, but we do not provide
transportation or food.
We don’t know if this prevents all schools from
attending.
Brain Boot Camp runs 2 hours, but we have done
longer events that include a career panel.
We have had the following schools
participate in our Brain Boot Camp program over
the last two years:
Academy of Scholars
Aurora Waldorf School
Bennett High School
Buffalo P.S. 33 Bilingual Center
Buffalo Seminary
Center for Applied Technologies
Elmwood Franklin School
Lancaster High School
Nardin Academy
Pioneer High School
Sacred Heart Academy
St. Stephen’s School
Tapestry Charter School
Over 600 students came through the Jacobs
Institute over the last year!
Here’s a Typical Brain Boot Camp…

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
The Fundamental Skills of Robotic Surgery (FSRS) curriculum is the method used for training robot-assisted
surgeons at RPCI. FSRS was validated in early 2013 as a proven method for teaching robot-assisted surgery.
Students embarking on the JRSC 2016 will explore much of the FSRS curriculum supplemented by lengthy precourse assignments, recitation discussion groups, hands-on lab practicals, as well as attend workshops on
ethics, compassion, leadership and teamwork through the program’s unique “Press On!” curriculum. By the
culmination of the program in the final challenge, students will be trialed on their developed knowledge,
teamwork, and skills utilizing an actual surgical robot (daVinci Surgical System®) in individual and team-based
challenges. In conjunction with the final event, ATLAS will host a technology fair where students can speak with
professionals in the many branches of STEM as well as compete for prizes with their teams.
In 2016, JRSC will branch out to collaborate with the Henry Ford Health System (HFHS) to begin the launch of
the second site with the Detroit, MI chapter. In the final event, the individuals selected to compete from HFHS
will join the Buffalo chapter at Roswell Park Cancer Institute for the first National JRSC Final Event. The program
will begin on June 24, 2016 and culminate on Saturday, July 23, 2016 with a grand finale event that’s open to
the public. All participating students who complete the required curriculum will receive a certificate of
completion of the Introduction to Robotic Surgery and are eligible to compete for awards and prizes. The top
teams and individuals will receive awards based on their performances. Applications must be completely filled
out and submitted no later than 5:00pm on January 22, 2016, without exception. The final list of JRSC 2015
participants will be announced on March 4, 2016.
Thank you for your interest in participating in this program. We look forward to your success in this year’s
event!
Yours sincerely,
Eileen O’Brien-Scannell, PhD
