Cleveland Teens Used Their Robotics Skills to 3D-Print Prosthetics for Kids in Ecuador
Six Cleveland high school students used their robotics skills to 3D-print low-cost prosthetics for children in Ecuador, providing affordable and customizable assistive devices that typically cost far more. The project, part of the Great Lakes Science Center Robotics Initiative, aimed to support underserved communities by training local students and medical professionals to continue the work. The initiative, which has helped over 80 children across four countries, emphasizes accessibility and empowerment through STEM education and hands-on humanitarian efforts.
