Jordan Reeves was born with a left arm that stops after the humerus. At 10 years old, she's already making her own prosthetic, and she's adding her own personal flair to it.
"This pushes the bubble, and it blows up sparkles," Jordan explained as she demonstrated the mechanism behind her creation, a glitter-blasting arm.
Jordan, who is from Missouri, made the arm at Superhero Cyborgs 2.0, a design camp in San Francisco meant to help kids "address a missing limb as a blank canvas rather than a disability."
Jordan's mom, Jen, called the experience "another amazing one-handed opportunity," saying it was just another reason Jordan is able to keep a positive attitude.
"She isn't sad about living with one hand. It's a blessing," she wrote. "How many kids with two hands can say they have a bunch of extra hands?"
And Jordan's not done. She is working with a designer to continue to improve her creation, which she calls "Project Unicorn." She explained some adjustments she still wants to make in an update video posted on Tuesday.
"It doesn't shoot out and explode, like an explosion, like I wanted it to, so right now we're working on getting that fixed," she said of her sparkle shooter. "I was thinking that it could have unlimited sparkles. That would be really cool."
Jordan said that when she finishes the project she envisions being able to bend the arm and even hold things with it. She'll present her final product in May, according to her mom's blog.
