On saturday, march 28, our team had the opportunity to travel to Jacksonville for a stringing workshop with Medtronic! we assembled prosthetic hands and got an inside look at their facility 👀

This experience was more than just building devices, it was about creating tools that support children’s development, independence, and everyday interactions 🤍

From hands-on work to professional exposure, events like this help our members grow their skills, explore real-world engineering environments, and make a meaningful impact

Huge thank you to medtronic for hosting us!
