a secondary youth group about to graduate from School of Technical Education N ° 1 from the city of Concordia (province of Entre Ríos), released its most recent solidarity project: they want give 3D prosthesis and they point to the collaboration of society.
Through their social networks shared this recently launched desire, as they themselves express in their account of Instagram: “We are conducting a solidarity project, it is born from the empathy and the eager to help”, As explained. The draft Consists of the 3D prosthesis printing for those who require it, with the aim of making as much as possible for later donation to Argentine Red Cross – Concordia Branch.
They are also making a prototype for a young man from the city that is blind and with the passage of time it remained deaf and dumb. From the area of professionalizing practices of the school they are creating a wristband that emits a vibration and, through a button, allows you to communicate.
The group declares that his draft was born, moreover, thanks to example from Gino Tubaro, who in 2020 was one of the 10 young Latino entrepreneurs who innovated and are an inspiration. “Using 3d print I think free prosthetics for many guys to enhance their best superpower”, Expresses this young man inventor 26 years old. In March 2016, the former president of the United States, Barack Obama rated it as “an example to follow” during a meeting with young entrepreneurs at the Usina del Arte when he visited Argentina. The particularity of prosthesis from Gino is that they can be compared to the hands of the Superheros (each person chooses a model and color).

The means what they have are limited, for which they invite those who can to to give some of what is used for realization of a prosthesis, as listed below:
• PLA or ABS filament.
• Double-sided Velcro.
• Flexible elastic cord.
• Non-elastic nylon cord or 0.9mm – 1.0mm waxed thread.
