Students imagine having a friend that has a farm with pet goats, and one of the goats has eaten something that they should not have eaten. The goat cannot digest the funny thing it ate, so it must be removed from its stomach. The students' challenge is to build a surgical instrument that can safely remove an unwanted object from a goat’s stomach.
