Edmonton teens are helping citizens
in their own backyard as well as
many others in Third World Countries.
Three grade 12 students are
using the latest 3D printers to produce hands for low income families with children
often shunned due to missing limbs.
With technical help from a
Calgary businessman whose company specializes in 3D printers, they’ve purchased
prosthetic hand kits for only $25 apiece but if made professionally they could cost
upwards of $1000 each. Each kit takes approximately 13 hours to print
“What if one of my children, at
a young age lost a hand? This could go to a kid that might be able to
participate more with one of his peers in the playground or wherever it is”
says Aaron Dublenko, teacher of innovate program.
Good luck with your endeavour. I
hope it expands to many more schools.
