A
I'm
very
happy
to
introduce
that
agenda.
Who
is
the
mother
of
this
movement?
Enable
is
an
innovative
collaborative
process
with
the
person
who
has
the
needs,
and
even
our
baby
is
also
a
movement,
because
we
are
trying
to
identify
the
needs
of
individuals
or
communities
and
address
them.
With
this
rabbit
of
collaborative
innovation,
jen
has
been
documenting
that
process
and
the
application
of
that
process
to
people's
needs
and
community's
needs,
including
enable
enlighten
it's
bringing
solar
power
to
people
who
are
so
disenfranchised
in
Sierra
Leone.
A
They
didn't
have
electricity
in
their
homes
and
the
the
outcomes
of
that
impact
of
the
prejudice
on
people
of
every
limb
differences
and
the
effect
it
had
on
their
children's
ability
to
pass
their
exams
changing
when
the
parents
have
power
and
then
the
generations
that
they
were
taking
care
of
also
have
that
ability
to
study.
We
didn't
take
better
care
of
themselves,
no
effect
on
their
health.
Those
kinds
of
things
are
enabled.
A
B
A
Try
to
begin
a
process
of
making
an
affordable
solution.
So
initially
Jen
had
been
speaking
online
to
this
community
that
rallied
to
create
the
first
problems
of
resolved,
and
then
she
grew
that
from
her
heart
and
her
blogging
into,
we
are
right
now
so
I
mean
I
stand
to
tell
those
are
Genesis
story
and
to
give
us
some
a
few
points
of
choice.
She
sees
thanks.
A
C
A
C
Well,
I
come
from
a
family
where
we
we
really
enjoyed
dressing
up
and
being
weird,
and
so
my
friend
Ivan
and
I
decided
to
go
to
a
steampunk
convention
and
he
made
a
large
mechanical
hand
that
could
function,
and
so
we
went
there
and
when
we
got
back,
he
decided
to
make
a
video
of
it
and
put
it
online.
We
did
not
realize
how
popular.
B
C
If
we
would
be
able
to
help
him
create
a
single
finger
to
help
him
get
back
to
work,
and
that
was
a
turning
point
in
my
life
and
a
turning
point
in
all
of
your
lives
when
we,
when
he
jumped
up
from
his
computer
and
said
Jen,
there's
this
guy
in
South
Africa
I
wanted
to
help
him.
Can
we
do
this
together?
I
said?
Yes,
it's
gonna
take
a
lot
of
work.
We're
gonna
have
to
spend
a
lot
of
time
coming
back
and
forth,
and
we
were
we
were
on
it.
C
There
was
a
there
was
a
person
who
needed
help
and
what
we
had
the
ability
to
help
him.
So
he
chose
to
say
yes,
so
immediately.
They
started
working
from
10,000
miles
apart
I'm
on
line
Richard
and
the
carpenter
in
South
Africa
sent
us
a
model
of
his
affected
hands
so
that
Ivan
can
design
around
that
in
real
time.
C
He
was
having
a
bit
of
a
hard
time
coming
up
with
a
design
that
would
work
for
a
human
versus.
You
know.
Council
project
prop
hand,
so
he
did
some
research
and
found
the
hand
of
corporal
Coles,
which
was
created
in
the
18th
century
from
a
Australian
dentist
that
was
carved
out
of
whale
bone
and
I
used
a
system
of
police
and
cables,
and
that
is
where
the
idea
for
the
first
annual
ham
came
from.
C
So
I
did
took
inspiration
from
that
and
he
started
using
whatever
he
could
find
around
the
house
that
he
knew
that
Richard
in
South
Africa
would
have
so
that
when
he
designs
something
could
show
pictures.
She
Richard
and
Richard
could
replicate
it.
And
then
he
could
tell
Ivan
if
it
was
working
for
him.
As
the
amputee
I
started,
documenting
their
progress
on
what
we
decided
to
call
coming
up,
short-handed
kind
of
a
pun
for
Richard,
and
we
started
getting
a
following
of
people
who
were
really
curious
to
see.
C
After
a
while,
when
when
the
media
started
picking
up
what
we
were
doing
from
the
blog
and
we
got
in
to
make
magazine,
we
got
science
that
science
communities
were
starting
to
to
kind
of
wonder
what
was
happening
and
we're
really
watching
this
table.
What
we
would
do
we
had
to
start
in
IndieGoGo
I
think
it
was
her
akela
find
me
because
with
them
being
10,000
miles
apart,
Richard
at
that
time
was
trying
to
design
what
they
were
making.
C
So
we
needed
to
first
get
Ivan
to
South
Africa,
and
so
they
could
work
in
person
and
Richard
also
needed
a
couple
of
different
pieces
of
equipment
to
be
able
to
do
what
they
were
trying
to
do
by
the
metal
in
November
of
2012.
Ivan
was
able
to
head
to
South
Africa,
because
people
donated
to
help
get
him
there
and
they
were
able
to
in
three
days
wrap
up
kind
of
their
first
real
prototype,
and
they
were
working
on
a
single
finger
for
him.
C
While
they
were
there,
I
was
blogging,
they
were
getting
more
and
more
miss
media
and
now
that
they
were
together
in
the
same
place,
a
couple
of
magazines
picked
it
up
in
South,
Africa
and
started
sharing,
which
led
to
mrs.
Liam.
This
Liam
is
the
first
child
in
the
world
to
get
a
3d
printed
prosthetic
hand.
C
C
At
the
end
of
the
day,
he
was
able
to
pick
up
an
object
and
wrap
his
fingers
around
it,
and
the
first
thing
he
said
was
it
copies
me
you'd.
Never
pick
up
anything
without
hands
before
when
I
even
got
back.
He
realized
that
Liam
was,
can
outgrow
that
very
quickly
and
it
had
taken
them.
You
know
24
hours
or
more
to
make
it
so
he
started
researching
to
see
what
their.
A
C
C
He
got
MakerBot
to
donate,
to
printers
one
for
him,
one
for
Richard
in
South
Africa,
so
they
were
able
to
collaborate
back
and
forth.
I
even
would
send
the
file
to
Richard
Richard
would
print
it
out,
assemble,
it
have
Liam
test
it
and
give
feedback
and
then
till
I,
even
what
needed
to
be
changed
and
a
little
probably
about
two
months
after
they
started
with
the
3d
printers.
They
came
up
with
the
first
robohand
design
and
they
hadn't
they
refused
to
patent
it.
B
C
Were
both
working
full-time?
We
had
families,
we
just
took
the
cases,
as
we
could
I
think
I
even
created,
maybe
two
or
three
devices
Richard
started
making
some
in
South
Africa
and
they
were
getting
in
the
news
again
at
that
time.
I
was
just
shutting
down
the
coming
up
and
coming
up
short-handed
blog
because
it
was.
It
was
too
much
in
May
of
2013
and
MakerBot
decided
they
wanted
to
do
a
video
on
Liam
and
Ivan
Richard.
C
C
C
With
Dean
hands,
we
had
some
events
where
we
got
to
make
them
into
real-life
superheroes,
and
then
we
decided
that,
instead
of
making
the
hands
for
people,
we
wanted
to
teach
them
to
make
them
themselves.
The
kids
who
were
starting
to
make
them
themselves
were
more
inclined
to
use
them
because
they
were
part
of
the
build
process.
C
Schools
started
picking
it
up
and
using
it
as
an
as
an
example
of
what
they
could
do
with
3d
printers
in
their
classrooms.
It
was
really
something
that
helped
teachers
to
be
able
to
go
to
their
PTA
and
say
you
know
we
want
this
technology
in
our
classroom.
This
look
at
this
is
something
we
can
do
with
it
and
it
was.
It
was
really
helping
to
show
that
they
think
it
uses
technology
for
good.
C
We
started
seeing
the
formation
of
chapters
and
not
just
chapters
who
were
helping
in
their
own
countries,
but
they
were
collaborating
with
other
chapters.
So,
for
example,
the
France
chapter
was
able
to
make
a
device
for
a
little
girl
in
Togo
and
that
that
volunteer
was
able
to
fly
that
arm
to
her
and
collaborate
with
a
volunteer
there
I
started
seeing
we
started
learning
that
people
in
underserved
communities
and
other
cultures
were
not
interested
in
the
superhero
hands.
C
B
C
B
C
C
C
C
And
then
I
started
realizing
while
we're
doing
hands
for
people
who
have
no
fingers
what
about
people
who
still
know
their
fingers
but
have
lost
function,
and
I
realized
we
had
this
entire
community
of
people
who
really
wanted
to
help
and
make
a
difference.
So
why
not?
Why
stop
at
the
people
who
have
no
fingers?
What
about
the
people
could
still
have
them?
C
After
that,
we
discovered
that
well,
why
did
we
stop
there?
We
have
the
ability
to
help
all
sorts
of
people,
so
I
again
collaborated
with
a
company,
and
we
decided
that
well,
we
should
maybe
try
to
help
people
who
can't
see
so
we
came
up
with
another
design
challenge
and
we
threw
that
out
there.
How
do
you
show
a
blind
person?
What
a
platypus
looks
like
or
what
constellations
look
like
using
our
3d
printers?
We
can
make
models
that
they
can
hold
or
things
that
they
can
touch
and
pass
around.
C
This
blind
person
can
now
solve
a
Rubik's
Cube
because
of
our
annual
community
and
the
that
I
threw
out
there.
What
can
you
do
with
your
ideas
and
your
imagination
to
make
a
difference
in
somebody
else's
life?
You
have
the
tools
you
have
it
inside
of
you
and
this
this
boy
here
he
got
to
use
a
Rubik's
Cube
the
first
time
in
his
life.
I
really
like
this
quote.
Educating
the
mind
without
educating
the
heart
is
no
education
at
all.
C
We
started
getting
more
and
more
schools
involved,
not
just
in
3d
printing,
but
they
were
taking
the
message
that
we
were
giving
you
know,
use
your
ideas,
create,
share
them,
see
what
other
people
can
do
with
them
and
started
putting
the
challenge
out
there
to
teachers,
teachers
taught
their
students
and
then
they
started
taking
their
students
out
to
be
teachers.
So
we've
got
a
couple
of
teachers
out
there
who
are
taking
their
students
to
retirement
centers
and
teaching
the
elderly.
C
A
C
And
then
we
have
the
recipients
who
have
now
turned
into
teachers
and
who
are
now
out
there
inspiring
other
people
to
make
these
hands
and
these
devices.
This
is
aaron
from
form
five.
As
a
high
school
senior,
he
started
his
own
nonprofit
after
getting
his
own
3d
printed
hand,
and
now
he
is
making
appearances
at
schools
and
inspiring
kids
all
over
the
place.

C
C
What's
your
superpower
Christian?
What
would
you
be
doing
today
if
you
had,
if
enable
wasn't
in
your
life
John?
Where
would
you
be
Jeremy?
What
would
you
be
doing
skip
anybody?
What
would
you
be
doing
right
now?
Would
you
know
how
impactful
you
have
you
could
have
been
enabled
isn't
about
hands?
It's
not
a
community
making
3d
printed
pants
enable
is
a
movement.
C
People
helping
people
that's
what
he
Nabal
is:
we've
got
good
thousands
of
people
helping
people
and
there
there's
nothing
better
than
that.
I
see
every
single
one
of
you
as
my
family
and
I
love
you
all
and
I
I.
Just
hope
that
you
all
know
just
how
amazing
and
incredible
you
are
and
I
hope
that
you
continue.
