Raytheon Designs Special Prosthetic
Hand for Teen Musician
Two weeks ago, Raytheon celebrated the end
of its Toys for Tots Toy drive. The company’s
employees, across five different sites, donated
over 4,000 toys to the Marine Corp’s Toys for
Tots organization. In El Segundo alone, more
than 2,700 toys were collected. Keeping with
the spirit of giving, Raytheon employees teamed
up with high school students in El Segundo
as well as in McKinney, Texas to design a
prosthetic hand for a 13-year-old boy who
is learning to play the mellophone. His prosthetic
hand was making it difficult to hold the
instrument, so the best and the brightest minds
at Raytheon’s Space and Airborne Systems office
volunteered over 90 hours of their time to
help fulfil his goal of performing in his school’s
marching band. With help from a group of Da
Vinci Science High School students, Raytheon
engineers made him a new 3D-printed prosthetic
hand designed to grip objects more easily.
Texas Scottish Rite Hospital will do the final
testing and fitting once Raytheon 3D prints
the final design.
