Show Notes

Engineering students at Trine University designed a 3D-printed back brace for Navy veteran Chester Evitt, enabling him to shoot a bow again after losing most use of his left arm due to war injuries. The project, part of Project Serve, brought together students and veteran virtually, with the final design tested in person this week. Evitt praised the device as life-changing, while the students found deep personal meaning in the project, especially given their Midwestern military family ties. They now have eight weeks to make final adjustments before a university presentation, with Evitt planning to return from Montana to take the finished device home and resume his archery passion.
