Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

I would like to do a complex prosthetics project. I have access to the Dallas center for Prosthetics. My neighbor has offered to help with welding so that's another aspect I could include. I need it to be a pretty complex and in depth project so I need some ideas on things I can test.

Hi HaleyH,

It sounds like you’ve gotten a great start by identifying your interest in prosthetics. Since this is a very broad topic you should consider some very specific aspects that you might want to build your project around. For example, you might want to think about what kind of prosthetic you want to work with and you might consider what kinds of experiments you could do.

The “Project Guide” section of this site contains some helpful information about getting started with your project.
