The STEMulate® Change Outreach Initiative just wrapped up the 2016 spring session at Austin D. Baltz Elementary School, Richardson Park Elementary School, and Stanton Middle School. Students learned about Yoky Matsuoka, a neuro-roboticist, by creating a robotic hand using straws, clay, tape, string, and rubber washers. Students dissected chicken wings to gain an understanding of how muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bone work together to create movement. When they were ready to present their robotic hand, students created a commercial to sell their prosthetic, complete with a jingle, product description, and other marketing components. Students were awarded for their attendance and curriculum/project completion with medals and certificates of participation.
