Innovation Changes a Life

The Need

Four-year-old Hudson needed a prosthetic arm. However, prosthetics are usually very expensive and children’s prosthetics are rarely covered by insurance.

The Solution

Variety KC and volunteers at at the STEAM (Science Technology Engineering Art and Math) Studio at Gould Evans Architecture Firm created a 3D prosthetic arm for 4 year old Hudson.

As prosthetics are usually very expensive and rarely covered by insurance, the 3D printing solution is both innovative AND affordable.

If you want help getting a prosthetic print you can contact Variety KC, as we continue our mission of helping Kansas City Children be Active, Be Social and Belong.
