Kansas teen uses 3-D printer to make hand for boy
In this article it talks about a Kansas teen building a prostatic hand for a little boy. The hand was created using a 3-D printer at his local library. If they did surgery for the boy it would have cost around 18,000 dollars to do. But it only cost 60 dollars to build and make as cool as the boy wanted it to be. This hand has changed has life in so many ways. His mom thought his self-confidence would be wrecked because of kids making fun of him. But now with his new hand kids are making him feel normal.
I'm so happy that this kid was able to get a hand of his own. I have not had anything like this happen to me but I can see it being very difficult. If it wasn't for someone who actually cared about people this kids life might have never changed. They need to start doing this for every person that's a prostatic. Its much cheaper and faster to do.

I really enjoyed this article. It is amazing how far technology has come. Good job giving a short summary of this article. You also do a good job making it personal. I am impressed by this technological advancement, yet so excited for this little boy and others it will effect. Make sure you are using quotes and proof reading this before publishing. If this was you, how would you feel? What do you think about the new stages of technology? Good job!
