After having his left leg amputated from pediatric osteosarcoma at 6 years old, Colorado State University student Garrison Hayes adapted to wearing a prosthetic limb throughout his childhood. While the biomedical and mechanical engineering senior adjusted over time, receiving gold and bronze medals at the 2014 USA Paralympic Track & Field National Championships, Hayes' ambition to assist fellow amputees never wavered. This dream came to fruition after assembling a team for his senior capstone design project. The team, composed of four other undergraduate engineering students, included Hayes, Thomas Leachman, Eric Gutierrez-Camacho, Lily Lindstrom and Justin Rudrow. Together, they set out to address a gap in the current prosthetic limb market. Read more at the link in our bio.
