Biomechanical Hand

The connecting orange stickers need a look at. Ripped easy but can be fixed easy. Other than that this is a favorite amongst most the ones we have received. 9 year old paid attention to the booklet. Needed a little direction even if he is excellent at building things himself since he was young. He could have been impatient. They learned a lot from the the booklets and the boys had stories from people they remember having prosthetics. I learned some as well. Goes well with the doctor crate. 

Great crate

My daughter loves playing with this hand. She now uses phalanges as part of her everyday vocabulary. The project does seem to have a small design flaw as the thumbs movement puts a lot of stress on the foam joint, but we relieved ours with one of the extra eye hooks.

Phalanges

This project was interesting but a little more difficult for the boys to do.  The fingers broke on them very easily and they got frustrated.

Interesting

My son LOVED learning about how our hands work. He also enjoyed the book that had the fun test about the sensitivity of our fingers. He experimented with everyone he came in contact with that day. My son LOVES Tinker Crate. He doesn't get enough hands on science in school, so this helps satisfy that curiosity. Thank you!

Educational fun

My son thought building the hand was fascinating.... Loved the history of the hand givin in the book!!!

Fascinating fun

My son loved building the hand. He was more patient with this build project then any other and it actually worked better than any other we have built.

Loved it

This was a really fun project. My 9 year old daughter was immediately excited to build it - and play with it. My 15 year old son also thought it was cool. So simple to assemble - and loved the tips about how to adjust if it wasn't working right!

Super fun

We liked that there were lots of parts to assemble plus the extra projects and the text looks good--haven't read it yet. My husband is a scientist and I'm an elementary teacher and we've been very pleased with all the crates so far!

Very pleased

My son loved the hand. He showed it to everyone. We liked the straw puppets too... it gave his little sisters something they could play with

Great!

It was fun to build. The boys really enjoyed seeing the life like movements after constructing each finger. Keep up the great work! My children attend a STEM school and being able to keep them engaged at home is my top priority... Thanks for helping me make this possible.
