Animal Prosthetics
by Rose Harvey
This project sets students up to explore animal anatomy and physiology with the idea of replacing a lost appendage (beak, leg, tail, fin, etc.) This is used in small groups of 2 or 3 over the course of several weeks and students will be writing and researching, completing scale models and prototypes, and finally designing on Tinkercad and using a 3D printer to create it.
