Prosthesis       

This is an amputee boy in Colombia who lost his leg, perhaps from an abandoned land mine, a traffic accident, or an infectious snake bite. Colombia ranks second in the world as the highest population of  children who have an amputated limb.

San Jose State University's senior Industrial Design class collaborates every year with Mahavir-Kmina, a local organization in Colombia, to develop a prostheses for these children. It is a collaborative team effort with each class building upon the previous years' work.
