Abdul Gouda and his fellow engineering students needed to complete an important class project for two major reasons: they needed to do so to graduate from Virginia’s George Mason University and they needed to do so to help make a young girl’s dreams come true. Isabella Nicola is 10 years old. She wanted to learn to play the violin. But she was born with a shortened arm and without a left hand. Isabella attends Island Creek Elementary School in Fairfax County, Virginia. The school’s music teacher built Isabella a prosthetic arm. It let Isabella move the bow of the instrument with her left arm and hold the violin with her right arm.
