HandsUp – Prosthesis with superpowers
Marek Kuźmiński’s project “HandsUp” combines social, inclusive, and universal design with play and bioengineering. In collaboration with AutoMedPrint from the Poznań University of Technology, 3D printing of PLA material has created prostheses with “superpowers” for children with disabilities. The aim is to boost the self-confidence of school-age children and involve them in designing their prostheses. The project responds to the needs of schools and families of children with special needs. The children actively participated in the design process for six months, contributing to their own more accessible future.
