Explore the fascinating world of biomechanics by building their very own mechanical hand! Participants will use a variety of materials to mimic the tendons and muscles of a human hand. Through this engaging activity, children will learn about the principles of engineering and anatomy, enhancing their understanding of how tendons and muscles work together to create movement.
Participants practise creative problem solving, engineering thinking, testing, iteration and collaboration through a practical hands-on activity.
