Fifth-grader Isabella Nicola wanted to play the violin, but she was born with

Abdul Gouda and his four teammates in the bioengineering department at George

Alhindi - built multiple prototype prosthetic arms for Isabella for their
senior capstone project throughout the year.

"Oh my gosh, that’s so much better," Isabella said as she tried out the new
prosthetic.

grip a handlebar and ride a bicycle.
