A model of the prosthetic hand that Lindsey Wilson University alumnus Scott Johnson '02 created for Red Cross Elementary School student Jackson Farmer, who was born without a right hand. Johnson created the hand for about $20 out of bioplastic corn and strong fishing line, which was recommended by a school janitor who is an avid fisherman.
