KIDmob Holds Superhero Cyborgs Workshop, Kids 3D Printing Amazing Prosthetics

Bay Area not-for-profit KIDmob recently held their latest Superhero Cyborgs workshop that connected kids aged 10 to 15 with upper-limb disabilities with professional 3D designers and engineers to create the 3D printable prosthetic arms of their dreams. A group of kids spent a week learning about 3D design, prototyping, 3D printing, plaster casting, electronics, sewing, and working with thermoplastics. The workshop was held at Autodesk’s state-of-the-art design and fabrication workshop Pier 9 in San Francisco, CA where each kid was assigned a mentor. Some of the imaginative designs the kids came up with included a Nerf gun, a glitter cannon and a water cannon.
