BUFFALO, NY — It was a summer project for several students that helped change the lives of three Western New York kids. The Western New York STEM program, along with a $20,000 contribution from AT&T, exposed students to the growing potential of 3D printing. 30 area teenagers worked in teams to design and 3D-printed hands that they presented to three well-deserving kids on Tuesday morning.
Under the guidance of technology teachers Ed Hawkins and Leif Johnson, the students worked to create custom hands for each of the recipients.
