Johnny Matheny 4 of 24

Introduction • Knowledge Nugget •

Mind-controlled Robotic Arm Johnny Matheny is the first person to live with an advanced mind-controlled robotic arm. Last December, researchers from Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab delivered the arm to Matheny at his home in Port Richey, Florida. The arm costs $120 Million US Dollars.

Matheny, who lost his arm to cancer in 2005, is the first person to live with this arm, but there are plans to have others try it out this year.

There are a few things Matheny is not allowed to do with the arm, like getting it wet or drive while wearing it. But beyond that, the goal is to push the robotic prosthetic to its limits.

The Grabber you are going to make is the first step towards making a mindcontrolled Robot Arm like this. So, give it a go!

Introduction • Fun Facts •

What is Plaster of Paris?

Plaster of Paris, quick-setting gypsum plaster consisting of a fine white powder, which hardens when moistened and allowed to dry. Known since ancient times, plaster of Paris is so called because of its preparation from the abundant gypsum found near Paris.

It does not generally shrink or crack when dry, making it an excellent medium for casting moulds.

It is commonly used to pre-cast and hold parts of ornamental plasterwork placed on ceilings and cornices. It is also used to hold still a broken arm or leg, though many modern orthopaedic casts are made of fibreglass or thermoplastics.

3D Printing is what a computer can do nowadays, but humans have been making 3D models using Plaster of Paris since thousands of years!

What is a Succulent Plant?

Succulents are plants that store water. Derived from the Latin word “sucus”, which means juice or sap, these plants are often considered to be drought-resistant. This diverse group of plants is popular for the home gardener and generally don’t require a large amount of maintenance.

Succulents are usually characterized by thick, rubbery, or “fleshy” parts. However, there are many options and these plants come in an array of shapes, sizes, textures, and colours. Succulents are often noted for their exotic or unusual appearance.

I’ve always felt that having a garden is like having a good and loyal friend. - C.Z. Guest
