Pupils consider the history of prosthetics and how they have developed to work seamlessly in the modern world. Pupils work in teams to build their own prosthetic arm using a Lego Spike kit, then use code to control and follow simple instructions.

The session concludes with a challenge activity where pupils use their prosthetic arm.
