Animal Prosthetics
by Rose Harvey
This project sets students up to explore animal anatomy and physiology with the idea of replacing a lost appendage (beak, leg, tail, fin, etc.) This is used in small groups of 2 or 3 over the course of several weeks and students will be writing and researching, completing scale models and prototypes, and finally designing on Tinkercad and using a 3D printer to create it.

Engineers often create small-size models of a new product to test its design. This is especially true with airplanes. Model testing tells engineers how a design responds to different air conditions
