Earlier this year, Hailey Dawson was determined to convince every Major League team to let her throw out a ceremonial first pitch at their ballpark. By the time her day was complete on Saturday, she crossed another stadium off her list, doing so on the biggest stage imaginable.

A 7-year-old girl with a 3-D printed prosthetic hand will toss out the ceremonial first pitch at tonight's Game 4 of the World Series at Minute Maid Park in Houston.

The ceremonial first pitch is a time-honored tradition in baseball. For Game 4 of the World Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Houston Astros on Saturday in Houston, a young girl from Nevada is ready for the challenge – using a 3-D printed hand.

Hailey Dawson is already a veteran of tossing the ceremonial first pitch at the ripe old age of seven. She’s got two Major League games under her belt and is about to add a third, with her biggest audience yet, as she kicks off Game 4 of the World Series in Houston.

The UNLV Solar Decathlon team shined bright in another international competition.

In search of someone to help print a hand for Hailey, Engineers at UNLV’s Howard R. Hughes College of Engineering took on the project using Stratasys Fortus 250mc 3D printer. By 2015, Hailey was throwing her first opening pitch at a UNLV Rebels baseball game, which quickly led to an MLB game.

A Las Vegas family is preparing for a trip of a lifetime.

Students from University of Nevada, Las Vegas traveled to Denver to compete in the U.S. Department of Energy’s Solar Decathlon 2017, where UNLV Team Las Vegas achieved a first-place ranking in the innovation part of the 10-event decathlon, awarded 98 points out of 100 points for that category.

After a seven-year hiatus, UNLV’s College of Engineering is hosting a science and engineering-focused career fair for students and alumni on Tuesday.

Late in the afternoon in early October, the Dawson family gathered to watch son Zach’s baseball game.

At the event, teams of college students from around the world design and build full-size, solar-powered houses, which are judged as a part of 10 contests that evaluate architecture, market potential, engineering, communications, innovation, water, health and comfort, appliances, home life, and the level of energy produced versus energy consumed. Each contest is worth 100 points for a possible total of 1,000 points.

UNLV’s Team Las Vegas won second place in the U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon Engineering contest today for its Sinatra Living home, one of 10 contests taking place during the 10-day competition.
