Their teacher says more than half of the class have been accepted into college engineering programs.
Thursday, May 16, 2024 9:15PMStudents at West Orange High School in New Jersey got hands-on engineering experience this semester while also helping an injured dog."They found him out on the street. They had his leg removed because it couldn't be saved," the dog's owner, Karen Clark said.
Clark says Cody gets around just fine on his three legs, but as he ages, arthritis can become an issue. "The majority of the weight is on the front legs. So if we can give his front-end a little bit of a rest maybe that'll delay the arthritis a little bit," Clark said.The company 3D Pets is giving them hands on experience, building cody's prosthetic."They're doing really good. Sometimes they're like we're not good enough. And I'm like you can do this," teacher Catherine Gardner said.
3D Pets founders were STEM students back in high school. They now make prosthetics for pets all over the world and wanted to touch the next generation. "I do plan on going into either industrial or mechanical engineering and I might be working with projects like this, such as, 3D designing things, 3D designing prosthetics," student Jeremiah Latimer said."Most of them are planning to go on into engineering," Gardner said as she wiped away tears. "I'm just so proud of them."Anthony Johnson speaks with the mother who gave birth and defended her doctorial dissertation on the same day.
