D2D: Tyrannosaurus Flex: Finding the "Fair-ly Normal" Grip

How strong is your squeeze? We’re inviting kids aged 2-12 to test their grip and help us establish new standards for hand strength. Your contribution allows our team to create more inclusive, accurately calibrated technology that works for everybody. Stop by the Minnesota State Fair Research Building for a Tyrannosaurus Flex to help us find the Fair-ly Normal Grip and help us build the future of interactive play!
