Week 3 | Day 3 | Activity 2: Printing Prosthetics

Something I Have Learnt: Something that I have learnt from the video about 3D printing prosthetic is that the prosthetic hands are body driven with no motors, sensors and no heavy batteries which makes it very light for kids who have Amniotic Band Syndrome. 

Something That Surprised Me: Something that has surprised me from watching this video is that there are amazing prosthetic hands for kids with the syndrome to actually hold and grab things like a normal hand which is shocking and awesome.

This week for day 3, activity 2 of week 3 for SLJ, we watched a video about 3D printed prosthetic hands. 3D printed prosthetics are artificial body parts. We wrote down something that we have learnt and something that surprised us from watching the video. This activity was based on a man, Chuck Hull, who invented the first ever 3D printer.
