During this 3-week virtual internship sprint, students will work in cross-university teams to develop real-world solutions for improving prosthetics design using 3D scanning and printing technologies. They’ll explore how to create accessible, low-cost medical devices such as prosthetics and cranial helmets, while addressing challenges in workflow efficiency, usability, and health equity.
