Fun Kids Science Quest

Hey hey hey, welcome to the Fun Kids Science Weekly! Dan is here with Patrick Kane to teach you all about bionic limbs - that's limbs that are engineered for people who are missing limbs or limb function! Patrick has a book out called Human 2.0, where you can find out all about the amazing feats of medical engineering that help people using technology.
