A training programme was developed to equip PhD students and experienced researchers with the skills to communicate their research to young audiences.
The engineers involved gained the confidence to engage with the public before developing materials based on their research.
The project delivered a two-day campus visit where pupils took part in the HandBuild and Hand Assess packages, explored the routes into a career in medical engineering, and recognised how engineers worked closely alongside healthcare professionals and patients to ensure positive outcomes.
Equipment for the project including artificial hand and foot
