We cater primarily to children and individuals with hand and finger deformities. Additionally, Robotel is committed to educating the public about 3D printing technology and its applications in prosthetics.\n\n## The Challenge\nConditions like ABS (Amniotic Band Syndrome) and limb losses due to trauma leave many, especially children, without suitable prosthetic options. Traditional prostheses are often costly and impractical for growing children. Robotel aims to offer a cost-effective and practical solution.\n\n## Our Solution - Robotel\nRobotel provides mechanical hands capable of basic grasping movements, essential for daily life, and emotional and social development. These affordable, customizable hands are especially beneficial for children, who rapidly outgrow traditional prostheses.\n\n## Educational Outreach\nBeyond providing prostheses, Robotel is deeply involved in educational outreach:\n- **Educational Blog:** We maintain a blog with content about 3D printing and the creation of ROBOTEL [Robotel Blogs](https://robotel.org/blogs/).\n- **Hosting and Joining Educational Events:** We actively participate in and host educational events related to 3D printing and prosthetics. [Event Example](https://www.instagram.com/p/CyQl68hIV8l/)\n- **Free 3D Printing Lessons:** Robotel offers free lessons on 3D printing to educate the public and inspire future innovations. [Lesson Example](https://www.instagram.com/p/Cug1nytO-YO/), [Another Example](https://www.instagram.com/p/CtGj-gwrODl/)\n- **Supporting Earthquake Victims:** We distribute ROBOTEL hands to children affected by earthquakes, demonstrating our commitment to social responsibility.

Our partnership with the Enable Movement allows us to reach a broader audience, maximizing our impact.\n\n## Why We Need Your Support\nYour support enables us to:\n1. Enhance our production and educational capabilities.\n2. Innovate in design, functionality, and educational content.\n3. Extend our reach to more individuals and communities.\n\n## Use of Funds\nThe funds will be allocated to:\n- Material procurement for 3D printing.\n- R&D for advanced prosthetic functionality.\n- Educational programs\n- Outreach efforts.\n\nJoin us in our mission to provide a helping hand and valuable knowledge to those in need. Supporting Robotel means empowering lives through technology and education.\n\n## Links for More Information\n- Website: [Robotel.org](https://robotel.org/)\n- Instagram: [Robotel Turkey](https://www.instagram.com/robotelturkiye)\n- e-Nable: [Enabling The Future](http://enablingthefuture.org)", "logoImgData": {}, "bannerImgData": {}, "projectTwitter": "RobotelTR"}
