Ayúdame3D, which carries out technological-social awareness programs in companies and schools and then turns the profits into aid for people all over the world, won the award for its SuperKids project. 30 children from all over Spain will receive an assistive device made by 3D printing, fully customized and adapted.
The TELVA award-winning project, SuperKids, is based on the development of devices for young people based on their growth with follow-up until adulthood. The manufacture and delivery of arms to children with amputations or agenesis in Spain is completely free for those who receive it. SuperKids provides an improvement in quality of life, a reduction in inequality and social assistance to hundreds of families throughout Spain.
The arms can be personalized with the themes that the children want. " This not only makes them more excited to receive their new device, but also allows them to participate in its creation and design," says Stephanie Lois, head of design and logistics at Ayúdame3D.
