He's 15, so it's only a matter of time until tries to "use it". Hope he doesn't crush his weener.

More heartwarming than the previous time we saw this story.

To say the article has insufficient detail would be understating it.

The kid has a hand that didn't develop properly - OK, so how much of a hand does he have? Because really... that's a lot of potential motor control for a more modern prosthetic.

What are the capabilities of the class-designed 3D printed prosthetic? They say he played catch with it - but I suspect it's acting as a dumb glove. But maybe there's some elastic grip or something and they just didn't mention it?

yep. another orphan crushing machine story.
feel good b/c something every person with a medical problem should get for free from the social safety net is instead sort of provided for this one person by a bunch of other kids. since the system that should exist to provide them for everyone doesn't exist. FEEL GOOD DAMMIT!
