Overview: Seniors in the school Richland Collegiate High school are required to do a Capstone project which incorporates what we want to do in the future. I'm working towards a Bachelors in Electrical Engineering and afterwards, I'll start getting into the Biomedical aspect of Engineering. A little factual information on what Biomedical Engineering is: Biomedical Engineering works with the technology that enables the disabled. For example, we engineer artificial limbs, organs, etc...

| As you can see here, this is an artificial limb. |

Issue: People who are disabled/amputees often can't afford the price range of these artificial limbs, and in most cases, peoples insurance won't be able to cover it. Because of this, people who are disabled due to a loss of limb often lose their job and aren't able to recover it because of their disability.
Solution: I plan to construct/engineer a limb that is affordable and is Insurance approved. I also plan to raise awareness about these situations.
