Sometimes physical activities which might seem like simple, everyday tasks
are more difficult than they appear for some people. A senior at Newton High
School in New Jersey, Justin Hermann, is one of those who take notice of the
people around him, and Hermann used 3D printing to lend a hand to a fellow
student.

Hermann had noticed that one of his freshman classmates was having a hard
time opening her locker, and that gave him an idea.

He saw that the hallway lockers are designed in such a way that opening them
requires a user to pinch the handles and lift them. The freshman in question
faced a physical challenge which made that seemingly simple task a real
headache.

So under the mentorship of technology teacher Brian Bennington and with the
help of junior student Robert Borgognoni, the trio used 3D printers available
them in their advanced principal design class to create a plastic handle to
modify the student’s locker.
