School Day Out Workshops: Building Lower Limb Prosthetics

Join us for a School Day Out Workshop at FCMoD! Taught in collaboration with the CSU Mechanical Engineering Department.

Student teams investigate biomedical engineering and the technology of prosthetics. Students create lower-leg prosthetic prototypes using various ordinary materials. Each team demonstrates its device's strength and consider the pros and cons, giving insight into the characteristics and materials biomedical engineers consider in designing artificial limbs.

Recommended for ages: 10-14
