We are doing a hand build event with the Girl Scouts
The Girl Scouts will be there assembling prosthetic 3D printed hands. If you would like to be involved in this event please let me know.
We need people to help with the following:

Instructing the kids how to assemble the hands.
I am also looking for women to be on a STEM discussion panel that happens after the hand building.
Also, I need makers that can print the hands ahead of the event for the girls to assemble.
Each hand costs about 30 dollars to make. If you would like to pay for a hand that will be assembled at the Hand-A-Thon you can do so here.
