Wendy Sandoval saw something else in those visits: an incredible culture of innovation
Already keenly interested in the sciences, particularly robotics, Sandoval was inspired by watching residents of Juarez repurpose scrap material
Her passion and ambition had driven her to take on increasingly bigger projects and recently
Recognizing new opportunities to fuel her creativity, Sandoval decided to take on her most ambitious challenge yet: a prosthetic arm for her best friend
After talking with Shelly, Wendy saw the project as a way to help her friend and put her knowledge to the test. All she needed was a place to build it
