Tinker Crate April 2016 Review - Box

This month’s Tinker Crate STEM project was the Biomechanical Hand. Tinker Crate included the materials and supplies our creator needed to make a hand. We only had to supply scissors.

It was easy for our creator to assemble alone with mom only helping to ensure the knots were tight. The step-by-step directions were clear and there were no problems. There are video instructions available for those who like to see what to do rather than read directions.

The hand worked fine on the first try with no adjustments needed.

Here’s a video the Tinker Crate April 2016 Biomechanical Hand in action.

There’s a bonus project included in this Tinker Crate: Straw Puppet Set. We had to supply scissors and clear tape; the instructions are included. It was a quick project which uses similar biomechanics to make the straw puppets.

The Tinker Zine included in this shipment features a lot of educational science behind our hands: muscles, tendons, bones, and joints. The history of hand prosthetics, and the future of innovative science is covered, too. The STEM information is very interesting and age-appropriate. Our creator enjoyed this Tinker Crate.
