11-year-old girl builds a prosthetic arm that shoots glitter

She may have been born with a “limb difference,” but that hasn’t slowed Jordan Reeves down.  The 11-year-old was born with a left arm that stops just before the elbow.  She’s involved in Girl Scouts, CrossFit, music lessons, and she advocates for other kids with limb differences too.  And she’s an inventor who’s getting a lot of attention for her most recent glittery creation.

Last week, Jordan went on “The Rachael Ray Show” and presented her 3D inventions to judges from the TV show “Shark Tank.”  She demonstrated the sparkly pink prosthetic arm she created that actually shoots glitter!  How cool is that?  During the segment, she introduces herself as someone who loves inventing new things because she sees how she can “revolutionize 3D-printing for the medical community and inclusive designs.”

She calls her glitter-shooting arm Project Unicorn and it’s 3D printed and uses compressed air to shoot the sparkles. The “Shark Tank” judges thought her invention was amazing, and we have to agree!  “You can never be sad with sparkles,” Jordan says. “You can do anything as long as you try.”
