Bow holder “buddy” that helps Oona grip the bow. No product on the market fits her hand, so the students scanned an existing one, scaled it down, 3D printed a mold, and poured a polyurethane cast. Photo / Milford Engineering

Submitted by Great Oaks.

The talented young men and women in the Great Oaks Project Lead the Way program at Milford High School are at it again; this year they designed and built a gripping device to help a young girl, Oona, with physical disabilities hold a violin bow.

This engineering and technology-based program is a satellite program of Great Oaks Career Campuses. In past years, the students have designed and built a prosthetic arm and adaptive devices for children.

Their work is a testament to their knowledge, talent and compassion.
