A helping hand

Hello fellow readers! This is our blog about good news. Today I will report about a kind act that some teens carried out in the European School of Madrid last month.

These students have created a hand prosthesis using a 3D printer for a disabled classmate. An organisation called Enabling the Future has teamed up with this Centre. They give lessons to the kids about values and carry out real projects to help them in their future job appliances.


In this Centre, new technologies play a fundamental role for their students’ education. They dispose of a digital immersive classroom where subjects are taught using modern technologies such as virtual reality glasses or 3D printers.

Back with the left hand prosthesis, teachers and students cooperated creating several phases of the design, so all the students could participate. They started by modifying and designing the pieces, phase in which ESO pupils worked on. Then their 'TIC' professor printed the piece. He stated that this process had been very tedious as he needed to make the prosthesis strong and resistant. Then primary schoolers worked on assembling all the parts. Finally, students of 'bachillerato' created a complex system of tensors which gives the hand its functionality.

The School has carried out a unique project in which all students have participated while they have worked values like respect and solidarity.
