PennyHeelys (The Origin Story)

At the age of 14, I embarked on my first true engineering challenge. I transformed my school uniform shoe, a penny loafer, into skateable Heelys using TinkerCAD, a 3D printer, and household craft supplies. I taught myself CAD and 3D printing to create custom parts, resulting in a functional prototype with approximately three seconds of hang time.

@lc.makes throwback to that one time I made Heelys in 2020 and now im making medical devices 🦾🦿#womaninstem #firstlikeagirl #vanderbiltengineering #mechanicalengineering #3dprinting #researcher #science ♬ Idyll - Dethron & Jonjthan

I recap many of my projects on TikTok because the world needs more engineers to solve the most pressing problems.
