We are very excited to announce both a Guest of Honor<\/strong> and our 2015 Hack of Honor<\/strong>! \u00a0Working hand-in-hand (forgive me) are\u00a0e-Nabling the Future<\/a>\u00a0(represented by Jen Owen<\/a><\/strong> and Ivan Owen<\/strong><\/a>)\u00a0and our Guest of Honor (GoH) Albert Manero<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

e-Nable the Future<\/strong> matches volunteers with individuals in need to make low cost 3D printed prosthetics for as low as $50 per hand.\u00a0 What started as a collaborative project for one child has become a world-wide maker movement (with over 500 members) utilizing the open source tech philosophy.<\/p>\n

e-Nable hopes to show the Penguicon community how their\u00a0knowledge and passion, combined with open source technologies, can help change the world.<\/p>\n

e-Nabling the Future is hosting their first conference<\/a> at John Hopkins Hospital<\/strong> on September 28, 2014<\/strong>.\u00a0 The conference will unveil the e-Nable 2.0 hand, the worlds first crowd-sourced, crowd developed prosthetic<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Our Guest of Honor, Albert Manero<\/a><\/strong>, signed up to be a volunteer with e-Nabling the Future and was quickly matched up with a six-year old boy in his local area.\u00a0 He gathered a team of friends and printed a\u00a0myoelectric arm<\/a> that runs off of servos and batteries that are actuated by muscle energy – the child flexes his bicep to squeeze the arm.<\/em><\/p>\n

Albert and his team are excited to show the Penguicon community examples of the prosthetics they are working on that react to muscle movement for control.<\/p>\n

Albert is currently a Fulbright Scholar at University of Central Florida where he is pursuing his Doctoral degree in Mechanical Engineering.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
