Prosthetic Leg Project (x10 projects)

$275.00

Students will apply principles of biomechanics, empathy-driven design, and human anatomy to collaboratively design and construct a semi-functioning prosthetic leg that attaches below the knee.🦿

Set in the compassionate community of STIIX-Ville, students are challenged to build a prosthetic for a local woman adapting to life after limb loss. Through this real-world biomedical engineering scenario, students will explore joint movement, weight distribution, and user-centered design while documenting their process and evaluating the functionality of their prototypes.🏃‍♀️💨

Although this specific project is not on there, check out our optional Augmented Reality app, STIIXVille. In it, students can bring concepts & careers to life for 6 other of our other STIIX projects.🤳

  • Students Served: 10-30 students
  • Kit Size: 24"x16"x14"

Why Educators Choose
Hands-On Engineering

Students don't learn engineering by watching someone else engineer. These bundles put the materials in their hands and the challenge in front of them. Students investigate a concept, design a solution, build it, test it, learn from what happened and try again. That's where the learning happens.
