Project Description

We will learn the basics of CAD and 3-D printing, possibly Arduino and some coding/circuits. The goal will be to build cool devices for local children with hand differences, i.e. prosthetic arms for playing musical instruments or to control RC cars, etc.

Research Tasks: Learn relevant software, 3-D print your own designs, learn how to use tools to develop prototypes to test ideas.

Skills that research assistant(s) may need: Willingness to learn and ability to balance time to work on the project while taking classes and managing other responsibilities and social activities.
