    When Jordan Reeves walked into her first dance class, everyone stared at her left arm, which stops above her elbow.

    "They kept looking and whispering." recalls Jordan. "It made me so mad because they didn't even try to talk to me."

    By the next week, Jordan was not so angry anymore. Still, she wanted to send a message. She walked into her next class, holding her head up and wearing a T-shirt with bold letters that read "Don't Stare. Just Ask. "

    To her disappointment, no one asked her anything——but the staring stopped. "I don't know if the shirt made a difference," says Jordan. "But I felt stronger."

    Growing up, Jordan attended camps for kids with limb differences. Then, four years ago, she was invited to a workshop in San Francisco called BOOST. She was challenged to design a new prosthetic arm-one that would tum her disability into a "superpower".

    Jordan teamed up with designers to create an arm that looks amazing. They used a 3-D printer to create the prosthetic arm. Instead of paper, the 3-D printer used plastic to create an arm shaped like a unicorn's horn. Jordan called her invention Project Unicorn.

    "It was a really cool experience to show that you can build onto your difference to make it awesome," says Jordan. "Not that it wasn't already awesome!"

    Jordan's mom shared the story of Project Unicorn online, and it quickly spread on social media. Jordan was already a mentor to other kids with disabilities. Now she had a bigger audience and could share her message with more people.

    Jordan and her mom also formed an organization called Born Just Right to help other kids with limb differences. They're making it possible for kids from across the U. S. to create their own limbs, like Jordan did. "Your differences are amazing. Jordan says. "You never know what amazing things you can do with them."
