6th Grade PLTW Complete Orthosis Project

Sixth Grade Orthosis Project

Students in Mr. Brown's Project Lead The Way class learned about the effects of Cerebral Palsy on patients near and around their age. The project requirement was to build a foot orthosis for a patient with spastic hemiplegia (a type of cerebral palsy). They learned about thumbnail sketching, and how to be effective communicators and present their ideas to a small group more easily. Students will continue to use the skills learned in this project, and build on them for the remainder of the year in various projects.
