Description
Age range 9 to 14
Aussie STEM Stars: Munjed Al Muderis tells the inspiring story of Munjed's life. "Life is about making a difference," Munjed says. "We all have a mission in life, to leave behind a legacy." His resilience, determination, and positive outlook on life—seeing the glass as half full rather than half empty—have helped him excel in his chosen career.
Highlights of Munjed's career include his development of an improved osseointegration prosthetic limb. This innovative surgery inserts a titanium implant into the bone, allowing patients to recover a certain level of feeling and greater mobility.
His humanitarian work is equally impressive. Munjed serves as an ambassador for the Red Cross, works with Amnesty International, and is a patron of the Asylum Seekers Centre.
"I admire the way Munjed works tirelessly to give back to others less fortunate than himself. I hope that by sharing ways Munjed has overcome obstacles in his life journey, readers will be inspired to seek ways to remain positive when they are also faced with hardship." - Dianne Wolfer
