Schüler:innen im Workshop

Workshop in German

Schüler:innen im Workshop

Hanging up laundry may not necessarily be fun, but it doesn’t present a significant challenge. Or does it? Have you ever tried hanging a T-shirt with clothespins using only one arm? How do people with a prosthetic arm manage to do it?

In the workshop, children learn about the daily challenges faced by people with disabilities and how technological assistive systems support them. They plan, build, and design their own gripper and put it to the test while hanging up laundry. They receive support from ETH students and an ambassador with a prosthetic arm. Families are welcome to accompany the children during the workshop.
