Students designed, 3D printed and sized a prosthetic hand for Sergio Peralta, whose right hand is not fully formed
“As I was growing up, like during my first years of school, I had a lot of people asked me what’s wrong with … my hand, lots of people, and I used to just say even in kindergarten, ‘I was born like that,’” the 15-year-old Sergio recalled to the local CBS affiliateSergio added to CBS: “In the first days of school [at Henderson], I honestly felt like hiding my hand – like nobody would ever find out.
Those classmates then spent four weeks designing, 3D printing and sizing a prosthetic hand for Sergio, who also helped. One of the first things for which Sergio used his new prosthetic when it was ready was to catch a ball with his right hand. Sergio told CBS that he never would have expected his classmates’ kindness and creativity “in a million years”.
