Mr. Matzke’s engineering students are turning creativity and problem-solving into real-world innovation. As part of their coursework, students are developing a gripper device prototype, the first step toward creating a functional transradial prosthetic hand.
Through hands-on design and engineering principles, students are learning how classroom concepts can lead to meaningful solutions. Their long-term goal is to refine the prototype into a working device—demonstrating how innovation, perseverance, and purpose can come together to make a real impact.
Projects like this highlight the power of STEM education and inspire students to use their skills to improve lives beyond the classroom.
