Ah, college. At some schools, you get the most unmotivated students around the world, and at other campuses, you get some of the most independently motivated people in history. Washington University apparently has the latter.
Sydney Kendall of Missouri, for the better part of a decade, has not had a right arm. But thanks to the glorious magic of 3-D printers and engineering students, she now has a pink, plastic, robotic arm that can open and close the fingers and move the thumb. Already she’s better than a cat.
A truly inspirational story like this deserves a movie to be made of it. Can we suggest it be titled “Terminator 4: Rise of the 3-D Printer Machines?”
