Soaring Eagles Prosthetic Arm Project

LeadingEdge Labs STEM Summer Institute students with Mr. Hepburn, Ms. Hinds Cruz and Ms. Whittingham.
 

The LeadingEdge

Last summer, Edgewater hosted its first LeadingEdge Labs STEM Summer Institute for Edgewater students. Twenty-five Edgewater students met for 2 days of brainstorming, team building, and learning about 3D-printed prosthetics.

The institute included a field trip to visit Limbitless Solutions at University of Central Florida. Students were able to tour the 3D Lab at UCF, speak one-on-one with UCF students, and work in teams to assemble a 3D-printed hand.

LeadingEdge Labs’ students will continue their research and development in 3D-printed prosthetics, and work to develop a gaming environment for kids with 3D-printed prosthetic hands, through an IT-Directed Study course offered for the 2015-2016 academic year. The eighth period course is co-facilitated by Ms. Hinds Cruz and Ms. Whittingham.

The project, called “The Soaring Eagles Prosthetic Arm Project” is made possible by a $20,000 grant from Lockheed Martin through the OCPS Foundation.
