1 . Stephen Davies was born without the lower part of his left arm. When he was at school, he had to wear a prosthetic limb (假肢). As he grew up, he found that it was gradually hard to wear his prosthetic arm as usual. And the places it could reach couldn’t meet his needs anymore.

It’s OK for adults to buy better and more expensive prosthetic arms as they can use the same one for years. Children, though, need to change their prosthetic arms every few months because they grow so quickly.

Stephen decided to do something. He had read that it was possible to print light, 3D prosthetics and he wondered if he could make them himself. He experimented (做实验) with simple but very colourful arms and legs. He discovered that he could make good prosthetic limbs quite cheaply.

Now he and his business partner (合伙人) produce “cool” limbs. They give prosthetic limbs away to children who need them (they raise money on the Internet to help with the cost of making the prosthetic limbs). One of the first kids to get a “cool” limb was nine-year-old Isabella Jennings. She had been waiting all her life for something like this. Stephen was really glad to help more children like himself.
