What is your plan to create in this project?

I plan to create a robotic hand

My project will have moving fingers.

Day 1

I brainstormed ideas for my project

Day 2

I decided on building a bionic arm

Day 3

I began to design my project

Day 4

I created a test print

Day 5

I redesigned my prototype

Day 6

Absent

Day 7
I created my final test print

Day 8
Printed with minor flaws

Using TinkerCad, and the Prusa MK4s, I created a Bionic Hand because I wanted to test if I could design something that could help people that are missing body parts.
During this process, I learned how to print hinges in place.
The 7 standards of the class are Empowered Learner, Digital Citizen, Knowledge Constructor, Innovative Designer, Computational Thinker, Creative Communicator, and Global Collaborator. My project ties to Innovative Designer because I designed a hand with moving parts from scratch.
A challenge I overcame on this project was my print nearly failing. I was able to do it by taking nose pliers and removing the misshapen parts.
Given a chance to do this again, I would change how I printed my py project. The reason why I would change it is because it was printed somewhat poorly.
Hastings High School Career and Technical Education Program offers Agriculture, Business Management, Computer Programming, Construction Trades, Culinary Arts, Digital Multimedia, Engineering Design, Finance, Insurance, and Marketing. My project connects to the Engineering Design CTE program at Hastings High School.
My project connects to careers in being a Design Engineer because I designed, printed, and refurbished my project by hand.
