Hand Solo builds his own prosthetic arm with Legos

We are living in a world where teenagers, and even younger kids, are rejecting the cultural pressure to quote look normal unquote and instead using inexpensive technologies to roll their own prosthetics for themselves and others, and a lot of them are inspired by science fiction heroes. This is why we need good science fiction stories. I even forgive Tony Stark for being such a jerk.

Guessing here, but possibly a typo for "tech"?

(And Hand Solo is of course a distant cousin of Thing from the Addams Family.)
