David Maulik presented me with my "new hand" last evening. We had traveled out to Fort Washakie where there is a 3d printer.
The caption is because I told David I would be the "coolest kid in 3rd grade" because I am a Big Brother to a 3rd grader here in town. When I take this to school can you imagine the curiosity?
This organization (enablingthefuture.org) works almost exclusively with kids. Kids will make it work no matter how it feels or works. David says that working with an adult means there can be meaningful input into the design and fit and he is right. Last night we made adjustments right there since I could tell him what didn't feel right or how something might work better.
David will be redoing one of the parts since I showed him how it might fit better that way. It turns out that others had noticed that in the design also and are working at fine-tuning the design.
Now all I need to do it practice. I can already pick up a glass (plastic of course) but for what else I will use it for I do not know at this time.
I am going to make a presentation to my Rotary Chapter next month. I want to get the word out.
