About:
The Robotics & Electronics course is designed to support students as they create a prosthetic device for the arm or hand. Students will learn how robotics & bionics in particular is changing the world of prosthetics. To gain an understanding of how to do this, students will build a prosthetic hand. In the Classroom and Complete Makerspace versions of the bundle, students will learn about the anatomy and physiology of the human hand and will then learn about coding and 3D printing using TinkerCad Circuits and TinkerCAD or similar programs to allow students to create designed prosthetic devices. Through this course, students gain a better understanding of how engineering and design support human needs, helping people around the world.
