I’m taking my kids to Shriners children’s hospital to tour the prosthetics lab on April 20th.
On April 21st I’m hoping to bring in adults and students to speak to my kids about specific adjustments that need to be made because of physicality. My objective is to have the kids design adaptive technology for a specific individual for a specific task. Aka using a zipper or gripping something small. They will design the products/concepts on the 3D printer and adjust once they see it in real life. While I realize the idea is grand I’m not sure the actual outcome will be a true functional item. It’s more for proof of concept/conceptual development issue.
If anyone knows anyone who can volunteer a day, has a physical limitation they can openly and honestly speak of to the students, not have commited a felony and pass a background screening (you laugh but I have stories), and be willing to not get a functional product at the end…please let me know.
