Join Patrick Kane for a fascinating event about human bionics. Pioneering technological breakthroughs have truly changed lives. For some people, particularly those with disabilities, recent advances have crossed the realms of the purely imaginable and reached a place of possibility.

People with paraplegia can walk again, those who are hearing-impaired can listen to even the faintest sounds, and some people with missing limbs can create beautiful works of art. Patrick Kane was fitted with a revolutionary bionic arm–the I-Limb Pulse after contracting septicaemia as a baby. He has since become a motivational speaker and campaigner and hecarried the Olympic Torch in the 2012 opening ceremony.
