Charlie Lonborg, Myra Kayano and Nyla Boneza, eighth-grade students at Stevenson Middle School, 3-D-printed a prosthetic arm and fingers for Stevenson alumna Laura "Dutchy" Moffat- Cintron, who lost hers below the elbow. Above, Patricia Morgan, left, and Lonborg, right, helped Moffat-Cintron fit on the prosthetic Thursday as Kayano and Boneza, standing, observed. Creating the limb was among several science projects Morgan's students dreamed up to help their community. Moffat- Cintron said the student-made prosthesis is more comfortable and looks more natural than her $10,000 prosthesis.
