A troop of eight third-grade Girl Scouts in Dorchester, Massachusetts, used nearly $200 of their cookie sale earnings to build a 3D-printed pediatric wheelchair for a child with mobility challenges. Inspired by a visit to a care center where they learned about wheelchairs, the girls worked with their troop leader to create the mobility trainer using 3D-printed parts, gaining hands-on experience in STEM, teamwork, and community service. The project demonstrated how Girl Scout cookie proceeds can be used to make a meaningful impact, and the girls are already excited to build additional wheelchairs in the future.
