2 things we absolutely love about this hand brace solution from the Union University outreach program - 1. It makes use of SHINING 3D scanners to create a perfect-fit, and 2. It involves collaboration with qualified therapists. Awesome submission to the Make:able Challenge!
Last week, we launched Tap - a Micro:bit Educational Foundation powered, bluetooth dual switch access device that enables people with disabilities to control mobile phones, tablets and computers. In addition to the project, we also released the files open-source! Grab them here - https://lnkd.in/eHVF3uTB

This is one of the best showcases of 3D printed assistive tech I've seen. Adam loves to prepare meals for his loved ones, and thanks to Maja, Gosia, Robert, Krzesimir and Piotr, he is able to do this using an adjustable gripper that activates by flexing the wrist. Amazing work! Full video story here: https://lnkd.in/e_EJU2-T

Freezing of gait is a neurological condition where people temporarily suffer from the ability to move or walk. As part of the Make:able Challenge, students from Diamond Bar High School used Autodesk Fusion and 3D printing to design a laser projection device for Raymond, which acts as a visual cue that triggers movement.
