Enabling the future is a group I have been fortunate enough to become involved with that has given great purpose to the 3D printing efforts of my students. From the Enabling the Future website:
The e-NABLE Community is an amazing group of individuals from all over the world who are using their 3D printers to create free 3D printed hands and arms for those in need of an upper limb assistive device.
They are people who have put aside their political, religious, cultural and personal differences – to come together and collaborate on ways to help improve the open source 3D printable designs for hands and arms for those who were born missing fingers or who have lost them due to war, disease or natural disaster.
The e-NABLE Community is made up of teachers, students, engineers, scientists, medical professionals, tinkerers, designers, parents, children, scout troops, artists, philanthropists, dreamers, coders, makers and every day people who just want to make a difference and help to “Give The World A Helping Hand.”
This is a presentation that provides an overview of the scope of our work 3D printing devices for Enabling the Future. There are a TON of embedded links in the presentation to our files, our affiliate sites and more. Links are marked with a link icon.
Our work was featured on our local CBS news channel in San Diego. Check out "Students Honored: Carlsbad kids find brilliant use for 3D technology." Thanks, Shannon Handy and her team for coming to our school and putting together a positive package on good things happening in public schools!
Note- There is some misattribution of credit here, the files we develop are from the Enabling the Future Foundation. They handle the distribution of the devices we build and ship through the Enable Alliance for Project Based Learning organization.
We won the Classroom of the Future Foundation Impact Award in 2018 for the work we do in our Design and Modeling course! The work developing upper limb assistive devices through the Enabling the Future foundation was a highlight of the program, along with our efforts to focus on Ability Awareness and bring Genius Hour projects into the classroom. Take a look at the video put together for the awards featuring our work in Design and Modeling!
Looking to have your students explore the Enabling the Future foundation and get involved? Try this webquest I developed to introduce my students to the work of Enabling the Future. Teachers- feel free to contact me for a completed work sample for reference as well!
