School of Visual Arts: MFA Designer as Author - The Prosthetics Project

It's a mod world:Carli Pierce | Mod squad

Mod Squad is an online community of volunteers that explore ways to modify inexpensive toys into prosthetic arms for child amputees in developing nations. The modded toy arms are sent overseas wrapped in a free Mod Squad cape. See feedback to Mod Squad on Instructables and Facebook.

The Prosthetics Project was a 10-week
project for a 3-d design class in the SVA
MFA Designer as Author program.
