Step 8: Prep for Inclusivity<br />
<strong>PROGRAM</strong> SPOTLIGHT: SUPERHERO CYBORGS<br />
Superhero Cyborgs worked with kids with upper limb differences to design and prototype their own<br />
body modifications. Participants learned to use technology ranging from 3D printing, modeling,<br />
and scanning to plaster casting, fabrics, and electronics, before creating their own super powered<br />
device! This workshop seeks to reframe disability as an opportunity, asking the question: if not a<br />
hand, then what? Participants drove their designs, with the support of professional designers and<br />
engineers who asked great questions to guide them through the process. It’s a challenge that kids<br />
care about, and helps them to understand the process and build confidence in coming up with ideas<br />
and them bringing those ideas to reality.<br />
