General topic of the learning path
Robotics in Biotechnology
Specific name of the learning unit
Building the Bionic Hand
Target user age
17-19 years
Learner prerequisites
Basic knowledge of Physics, Mathematics, IT, Biology
Description of the learning unit
The final practical result – to make a part of a bionic hand prototype. Here teachers and students will be acquainted with bionic manipulators principles, with the 3D printing and 3D modeling techniques, how to visually/graphically program a microcontroller and make the bionic fingers move depending on the buttons pushed by the user. 

Practical exercises involve: Tinkercad 3D graphics modeling; Participation in the 3D printing procedure; Practical programming and experimentation with the constructed bionic hand parts.
