Abstract
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.
