School Day Out Workshops: Build lower limb prosthetics

  • This event has passed.

School Days Out at the Museum! Join us on October 20th and again on November 10th for a series of fun, interactive engineering-based workshops for kids ages 10-14. Each group will be led by CSU College of Engineering students and will focus on creative problem-solving for some of today’s most fascinating challenges. The groups are limited to 15 people per each 90-minute session. Registration is required and can be accessed here.  

Student teams investigate biomedical engineering and the technology of prosthetics. Students create lower-leg prosthetic prototypes using various ordinary materials. Each team demonstrates its device’s strength and consider the pros and cons, giving insight into the characteristics and materials biomedical engineers consider in designing artificial limbs.

Cost: $15/$12 members
