Morris County Vocational School District high school students, enrolled in the Share Time Engineering Design & Advanced Manufacturing (EDAM) program in partnership with County College of Morris (CCM), worked with Professor Tom Roskop to assemble prosthetic hands at home.

The hands, a total of 12, now are being shipped to eNable which will provide them to children in Malawi in southeastern Africa. The parts for the hands initially were printed on one of the department’s 3D printers.
