A Life-Changing Challenge for Barclays Eagle Lab

When Adrian Parker took his daughter to the Barclays Eagle Lab near their home in Brighton for a half-term project, he posed the team with an unusual challenge.
Rilee, who turned four on New Year’s Eve, was born without a left hand and although she is well used to managing, Adrian wondered how a prosthetic arm might give her more freedom.
“We were looking at the 3D printer and talking about what kinds of things they could make and I said: ‘My daughter might make a good subject for you’,” he says. “I put it out there half not expecting to hear anything back.”
