Robotic Hand
Marasleion STEMites - STEMίτες Μαρασλείου
Description :
Finding solutions to support the independence of people with disabilities is always a noble cause!🙏🏽 As many disabled activists argue, it is the inaccessible society creating obstacles for them and not their physical impairment. Marasleion STEMites focused on constructing an artificial limb that would help someone who doesn’t have hands to be more independent. Using everyday materials, they tested different approaches to their robotic hand 🦾and kept the most functional. The STEMites suggest that technology and scientific knowledge should be accessible to everyone within a democratic society.

We are 15 children and one teacher and we work in the STEM Crafts and Robotics Activities club of our school. We build simple STEM projects such as: catapults, cars that move with the air, robotic hands, etc. Through the play and crafting we become engineers, mathematicians, scientists and think about how can our constructions work better!
All science activities and technology is linked to everyday life and critical reflection on them. Our interest in science came in conjunction with the STEM methodology, because it opens up more creative ways to understand science and technology Procedures.
Our project is the robotic hand and our inspiration came from the social issue of disability and in this way STEM combines society, technology with disabilities.

Great job! It is so important to be aware of how Science can be used to help people. Let's see if, in the future, any of these amazing scientists can create a real robotic hand to help people with disabilities :D
Greatings, Science Wednesday team,

Your experiment is very promising for people with disabilities. We liked the simple, yet original, materials that you used to make your robotic hand.
