This summer, put your engineering experience towards building a product that changes the lives of children in Nepal!

Created
in the Design for Extreme Affordability class at Stanford, the HandHero
is an innovative splint that helps young Nepali burn survivors restore
function in their hands after surgery. We are addressing the acute lack
of access to physical therapy for poor, rural Nepali children who are at
the highest risk for permanent disability due to serious burn injuries.

We are 4 graduate students from the schools of medicine and business seeking an engineer
to join the team this summer to develop the HandHero from our current
working prototype into a fully functional medical device, ready for
field testing in Nepal by the end of the summer. You will be working
with us at the Social Entrepreneurship Lab at the Stanford GSB.

Mechanical
Engineers, Bioengineers, and Product Designers preferred, with
experience building things and working in the Product Realization Lab.
20-40 hours per week commitment, mid June to mid August. Stipend
available for full-timers (40 hrs/wk) with potential for travel. To
apply, send your resume and a description of the coolest thing you’ve
ever made to extremehandhero@gmail.com.
