Your hands are remarkable. Want to discover how complex hands are? Try to make one. Actually concentrate on just a few fingers.
Solve basic challenges. Work with parts developed in our shop. Explore a simplified version of the state-of-the-art designs developed by Yale's Grab Lab and shared through its Open Hand Project.
Construct wooden fingers to pick up a life saver, then pennies, then an egg. Construct a hand that can play Jenga. Give you hand some art. Make your hand animate a finger puppet. Help your hand get musical with finger cymbals.
Most important, create your own challenge for your hand(s) to master.
