We are currently working on a project to let a woman who is blind and deaf better navigate the elevator in her apartment complex. We are creating a solution that allows her to know which elevator is going to open, if it is coming up or down, and what floor she is currently on while using it.

We are also currently working to create an app that allows the same woman to communicate with her handlers remotely by converting incoming text messages to morse code.

We modified an electric toy car so it could be used by a 2-year old child with Cerebral Palsy. A notable modification was rewiring the car so that it could work by pressing push buttons with the driver's hands, instead of pressing foot pedals.

We are currently modifying toys for children with disabilities through a local children's hospital. We rewire the electric circuitry so the toys can be turned on and off with enlarged switch plates and repair toys who electronic components are no longer functional.

We created low-cost buttons to operate the toys that we are modifying. These buttons can be very expensive for hospitals and families to purchase, so we designed options that are just as effective but significantly more affordable.

We designed an arm sling to help a woman eat on her own who had tremors as a result of being struck by lightning. This contraption allowed the user unlimited horizontal range of motion. The piece is also very easy to take apart for storage purposes.

We designed and built a modified MP3 player device for people with disabilities. This device had the same features of an MP3 player (stop, start, next song, etc.), but was modified to have bigger push buttons, so an individual with less dexterity could easily use it.

We created an app to teach kids about engineering. The app uses the engineering design process taught by EiE to promote critical thinking. The user has to figure out a way to protect a river or lake from polluted runoff water by choosing the best locations for biofilters. The game limits the number of biofilters available to teach kids about cost effective problem solving. It also encourages them to think creatively and discover multiple ways to solve problems.
