Baby goat takes her first steps thanks to NC community college students
- Engineering students from Wilkes Community College in North Carolina successfully helped a baby goat named Millie learn to stand and walk on all four legs for the first time.
- Millie's owner, Tiffany Shepherd, contacted lead instructor Bryan Hartzog, which led students to spend weeks measuring, designing, printing, and testing a prosthetic leg.
- The students worked in teams, faced challenges ensuring the prosthetic’s ergonomics would not harm Millie, and felt nervous going into the design process.
- Student Matt Coleman mentioned that ensuring the ergonomic aspects functioned properly was challenging, but once Millie managed to take her first steady steps, much of that initial anxiety eased.
- Millie's journey continues as she and Shepherd will return for upgrades, with Shepherd expressing gratitude for the students' efforts and Millie standing like a normal goat.
