Student

Using the skills he learned on the LaBrae robotics team, and with a heart to help others, senior Aidan McManus designed and created a protective case for another student’s insulin pump.

Aidan used a 3-D printer to make a case for 5-year-old Emerson Masters’ insulin pump after the kindergartener broke hers.

Emerson has type 1 diabetes. Aidan used his own insulin pump to develop a design for Emerson’s case, and, after printing a few prototypes, presented her with a pink case with her name on it.

Aidan’s and Emerson's story has garnered attention throughout the LaBrae community and beyond.
