Engineering Club Prosthetic Hand Project Plan

[Skyler0114]

Several friends and I are part of my high schools engineering club, and I've thrown the idea around of us trying to make a prosthetic hand. Before we go and try to convince our advisor to ok a complex project that seems like it might be off little benefit I want to be able to pitch the idea of putting it in a Science or Engineering Fair. I also want to have a goal to work towards to keep the team motivated. I am thinking a 3-5 month timeline would be reasonable and still give our people enough time to do the other programs we are part of that start up more or less once school is back in full gear (plenty of things from FIRST to keep us busy).

The first thing we should do is research the project and develop a plan for making the prosthetic hand. We should look into what materials and components we would need, as well as what kind of design would be best suited to achieve our goal. We should also look into any existing designs or projects to get ideas on how to improve upon them.Once we have a plan in place, we can begin gathering the necessary materials and components, and begin building the prosthetic hand. We should also create a timeline for each step of the process, so that we can make sure we are staying on track.Finally, when our prosthetic hand is built, we can enter it into a Science or Engineering Fair. Depending on the rules of the particular fair, we may be able to provide demonstrations of our device, or even have a presentation on the project and its benefits. By entering our prosthetic hand into a fair, we will be able to demonstrate our work to a wider audience, and potentially win awards or scholarships. Additionally, this could help us to raise awareness about the project and the importance of prosthetics in general.
