Thanks to Staci Black & Adam Feagins, some of our USD 234 students were able to complete a design challenge by making a prototype AFO (Ankle Foot Orthosis) for a child with cerebral palsy.
After completing the design challenge Barry Campbell, CO from Hanger Clinic in Overland Park, KS visited the Design and Modeling students and demonstrated the molding process for designing orthotics.
Mr. Campbell spoke to students about career opportunities in designing/building orthoses. He also brought several AOF's and allowed the students to try them on.
Our district loves being able to have such great visitors come and see us! 🐾
