Maria and her youth groups began volunteering in the e-NABLE community last fall after researching e-NABLE and attending their first conference, "Printers Meet Prosthetists." With the help of Direct Dimensions, an Owings Mills, MD company, and their medical advisor, Johns Hopkins trauma surgeon and bionics expert Albert Chi, MD, her team took on a request for an inventory of devices for a hospital in the Middle East. In 48 days, they learned to 3D print and held 7 workshops, printed 3 arms, coordinated with 3D printers from around the world, and led assembly of over 100 hands. Maria now oversees the research and development, testing and educational programs of the Enable Community Foundation (ECF). Registration will close at 5 PM on Tuesday, Nov. 17.  keywords: tech, mce, eda, htc, 3D
