Biomedical Prosthetic Challenge: Bionic Limb Engineering STEM Lab (L7)
Introduce your middle school students to the cutting-edge intersection of medical science, structural mechanics, and data-driven design with this plug-and-play Biomedical Prosthetic Challenge! Tailored specifically for grades 6–8, this comprehensive 6-page resource packet guides students as they step into the shoes of bionic engineers tasked with configuring a functional mechanical arm interface for a rehabilitation patient.
Using advanced, interactive 3D human anatomy visualizers (biodigital.com) and open biomechanical research metrics (openbiomechanics.org), students explore the physics of class-3 levers, force distributions, and joint torque limits. They must systematically design a prosthetic limb framework that successfully lifts a strict 500g payload target while balancing rigid Range of Motion (ROM) specifications and maximum component mass safety constraints.
