These students have created a hand prosthesis using a 3D printer for a disabled classmate. An organisation called Enabling the Future has teamed up with this Centre. They give lessons to the kids about values and carry out real projects to help them in their future job appliances.
In this Centre, new technologies play a fundamental role for their students’ education. They dispose of a digital immersive classroom where subjects are taught using modern technologies such as virtual reality glasses or 3D printers.
Back with the left hand prosthesis, teachers and students cooperated creating several phases of the design, so all the students could participate. They started by modifying and designing the pieces, phase in which ESO pupils worked on. Then their 'TIC' professor printed the piece. He stated that this process had been very tedious as he needed to make the prosthesis strong and resistant. Then primary schoolers worked on assembling all the parts. Finally,
The School has carried out a unique project in which all students have participated while they have worked values like respect and solidarity.

The best part of all this story is that education has been used to help others and not only to study. It would be quite good to see this in other schools!
ReplyDeleteThe work they do in this school to help people is really new. They are not only focus on the academic topics but they are also into helping people.
ReplyDeleteI think other schools should take this into account.

I found the tittle of the piece of news catchy and I decided to read it. When I started reading it, I thought it was written by someone which aim was to promote the school... then I understood the point of the message. I personally think that these kind of activities are really enriching for the students at an academical scope but at the same time I believe that it is a good way to teach people another way to help within our society.
ReplyDeleteI'm completely sure that now it is our time to try to reach this sort of education in our public education system. Good luck partners!!
I didnt know anything about children with this types of disabilities, but i have found this post interesting, and, more important, the smiles of the childs that have helped her friend :D
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing, I mean, creating a hand with a 3D printer ang giving it to a girl who suffers this disability. This show us that we don´t have to worry just about our problems and he have to help other people who´s problems are worts than ours.

I find this post very interesting, I cannot believe how children can create something as complex as a robotic hand. I have enjoyed reading this post.
