Designing and building an artificial hand is a great science fair or classroom project. It’s also a vivid, “hands-on” way to get your students thinking about how such robotic limbs are used in society and industry. Whether your students work individually or in teams, this activity is a fantastic experience in creativity, problem solving, STEM, and engineering. Plus, for some students, it may even lead to a future career inspiration!

I’ve wanted a 3D printer for a long time, but I live in a small apartment where space is limited. That’s why I was thrilled when Educational Innovations, the company I work for, started selling 3D pens. They’re much smaller and more affordable than 3D printers, and they don’t require any special computer programs to use.
