- Explore how robotics and bionics are revolutionizing prosthetics
- Examine 3D printed parts made from recycled materials
The Robotics & Electronics Makerspace Complete Package is designed to provide students with the tools and knowledge necessary to create a prosthetic device for the arm or hand. Students will learn how robotics and bionics, in particular, are revolutionizing the world of prosthetics. To gain an understanding of how to do this, students will build a prosthetic hand. Through this course, students will gain an in depth knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the human hand, as well as coding and 3D printing using TinkerCad Circuits and TinkerCAD or similar programs to design prosthetic devices. As a result, students will gain a better understanding of how engineering and design can be used to meet human needs and help people around the world.
