Includes Lessons and Curriculum
CreateKit Prosthetic Limb Kit
Teach biomedical engineering for kids with this kit. Students design prosthetics to assist individuals with limb differences. Through hands-on exploration, students not only develop essential STEM skills but also cultivate empathy and social-emotional learning competencies.
This kit includes all necessary supplies to build basic static or dynamic prostheses, facilitating hands-on learning and experimentation. Students will design prostheses with real-world applications, fostering empathy-driven engineering. They'll enhance STEM proficiency and SEL skills through collaborative problem-solving and innovative design. Additionally, they'll explore potential career paths in prosthetics, inspiring them to consider future opportunities in the field. Accommodates 24 students. Recommended for Middle School and up.

Next Generation Science Standards*:
-
MS-ETS1-1: Define the criteria and constraints of a design problem with sufficient precision to ensure a successful solution, taking into account relevant scientific principles and potential impacts on people and the natural environment.
-
MS-ETS1-2: Evaluate competing design solutions using a systematic process to determine how well they meet the criteria and constraints of the problem.
-
MS-ETS1-3: Analyze data from tests to determine similarities and differences among several design solutions to identify the best characteristics of each that can be combined into a new solution to better meet the criteria for success.
-
MS-PS2-2: Plan an investigation to provide evidence that the change in an object’s motion depends on the sum of the forces on the object and the mass of the object.
-
HS-ETS1-2: Design a solution to a complex real-world problem by breaking it down into smaller, more manageable problems.
-
HS-ETS1-3: Evaluate a solution to a complex real-world problem based on prioritized criteria and trade-offs.
-
HS-PS3-3: Design, build, and refine a device that works within given constraints to convert one form of energy into another.
