[AMP-L] Cleveland Robotics Team Designs Prosthetic Arm for Teen

via Cleveland.com: 

A teen girl from Ecuador is again able to write her name for the 
first time in three years, thanks to the work of high school students 
from Cleveland and a nonprofit that delivers medical care overseas.   

Samantha Chango, 13, had her left arm amputated as the result of a 
bus accident. Nerve damage in her right arm left her unable to move 
that arm, wiggle her fingers or open and close her hand.  

Then a bit of serendipity brought together a Cleveland-based high 
school robotics team and a nonprofit that provides medical care 
around the world. Together, they attempted to design, build and  
deliver a prosthetic arm.
