Our partner, Bit Space, has developed several online courses to help introduce students to the work being done in the e-NABLE volunteer community. A portion of each sale goes toward supporting enablingthefuture.org and the e-NABLE commmunity.
Prototyping with Purpose: Human-Centered Engineering Design Challenges (with e-NABLE)
$49
This online course features a series of seven challenges that engage students in the positive power of engineering and human-centered design. Lessons are designed to make it easy for grade 4-8 teachers to deliver remotely and include instruction as well as videos that can be assigned directly to students. Centered on the work e-NABLE has done to bring 3D printed prosthetics to people all around the world, students will learn about the Engineering Design Process, how makers and engineers are using that process in the face of COVID-19, the power of empathy in design, anatomy, and simple machines. The culminating challenge gives students the opportunity to create an initial prototype of an upper limb prosthetic.
3D Printing Prosthetics to Teach Engineering, Anatomy, and Empathy
$250
In this course, we will cover how you can integrate digital humanitarianism, tech, biology, and social, emotional, learning into your classroom through e-NABLE’s empowering 3D printing prosthetics program. We will share lessons on activating student empathy to enhance understanding, connecting this work to your human anatomy and biology studies, as well as ways to integrate the language arts through opportunities to compare and contrast and create a personalized note with your completed prosthesis.
