Its In My Genes

Create something using your knowledge and research into prosthetics, special education, and the tools available in the Lab to solve a real world problem.

In this project we built a device to better help a local student with spina bifida to mount their iPad for communication to their wheelchair. The current mount bumps into him, gets in the way of pushing himself, and is in the way when trying to get into the chair. Thats hardly independent. We built a mount to balance across the back of the chair, eliminating drift to the side, then the mount came down from the side to a better place that is still accessible, but not in the way.
