“The Designers” -- Students will consider the personalized aesthetic component of each piece in regard to the child’s lifestyle, hobbies and interests. The challenging aspect is to make the prosthetic more visually appealing without compromising the functionality of the design. Students will use CAD software, slicing software and 3D printers to build their designs. Students are responsible for creating an interactive, digital showcase of their design process. This showcase should include each isolated element of their design with an explanation of how each piece contributes to the overall aesthetic of the personalized design.
