Innovation day just happened, and this year’s theme for grade 5 was bionic implants. My friend and I made a bionic arm. We chose the bionic arm because we thought that it would be cool to make an arm.
We learned a lot from the project I will say some of the more important stuff. Did you know there are 2 types of bionic arms,one of them is called traditional bionic arm and the other one is the high tech bionic arm.In traditional bionic arms you wear a harness that has cables that connect to the shoulder strap of the harness, and when you pull your shoulder up your hand closes and when you let is rest it opens. In high tech bionic arms there is a robot in the arm that tells the brain and the nerves when the arm is going to move.
The process of making the arm was fun.We made the arm out of plastic, bottles, clay, tinfoil, straws, paint and paper.First we cut the plastic bottles and made them the arm, then we took paper and covered it with the paper. Then for the palm and finger we used clay and wrapped it with tinfoil.
When I saw the middle schools projects the amazing.For grade 6s innovation day projects they made games that are coded that you could actually play. For grade 7s innovation day project they made a habitat for almost extinct animals. Someone made a koala cave witch was great. For grade 8s projects they made things that help the world like someone made a ball holder someone made a can opener. They were all great.
