Do Now 5/16

I organize my files in either my computer or Flash Drive because most of the stuff I need to carry around and I use the Flash Drive to back up my work when my computers decides to crash. I like to have different folders like Pictures, Videos, Music, School and etc and then subdivide them if I have to. If I'm in the School folder, I like to divide it up to the different subjects so that I know which subject it's going to be for. Since I'm Korean American, I also divide my music and videos to the different nationalities like Korean, American, Japanese, Chinese, and etc. I also organize my pictures so I know what photos I might want to use for Photoshop, just drawing, and inspiration. Sometimes, I like to also organize my sites on my favorites and have a separate file for each one so that I can tell which ones that I'm looking into.

Girl Scout Team Patents a Prosthetic Hand

The First program, which is known for their robot games, had a group of Girl Scouts create a prosthetic hand that can help a toddler write. This device won the inaugural X Prize Global Innovation Award.

Flying Monkeys, a group of kids between the ages of 11-13, built BOB-1, the robotic hand, inspired by one of their member's limb deficiency.

After learning what a long and hard process prosthetic hands can be, they decided to create something that was simple, unique yet just as efficient as any other prosthetic hands. They based theirs on a plastic platform that is attached to the user's arm. A perpendicular piece is also attached to it to grip the writing and other utensils.
