Students will answer the question ‘What is adaptivity?’ and will develop an understanding of how adaptivity serves inclusivity, especially in relation to adaptive sport. Students will explore the history and future of prosthetics. Finally, students are challenged to construct their own prototype prosthetic limbs using classroom equipment in a group STEM activity.
