Brad Wu, a senior at Arizona College Prep High School in Chandler, was awarded a $50,000 Davidson Fellows Scholarship for his engineering project.
The project was the creation of a lightweight, brain-controlled robotic arm device to help stroke patients regain movement. The Davidson Fellows Scholarship is an honor for students 18 and younger. His award is part of the program’s 25th anniversary year, which is granting a combined $825,000 to only 21 students nationwide.
