Project Introduction

Hello everyone. We are industrial design students from San Jose State University. This will be the first official post for this blog and there's quite a bit of catching up we need to do. So let's start off with the whole reason we are starting this blog.

For our senior capstone our class received a project brief to develop prosthesis for amputee children (not excluding adults) for $30. The project will focus on countries with the highest concentrations of land mine victims. As a class we split up into 3 teams, each focusing on a specific country; Cambodia, Columbia, and Afghanistan. This blog will document team Afghanistan as we work to come up with a highly viable prosthesis solution suitable for our country, a possible business model for manufacturing and distribution, and ultimately, as a class, launch a website for this project.
