Information on Miller Career and Transition Center: Miller Career and Transition Center is a Special Education School in the LAUSD district in Los Angeles, California that teaches students from ages 14-22 with mental and/or physical disabilities. Their goal is to provide work experience and training to their students that they can use after they leave Miller Career and Transition Center and enter work force.
Our Miller Goal: Making students' lives easier, more efficient, and better capable to adapt to time after high school when jumping into the real world to search for employment by making a mechanical mechanism that will help the students at Miller Career and Transition Center.
Miller Project Idea: A device that can help support a heavy pitcher so that an individual with upper body strength/mobility issues could successfully pour a mixed drink from a heavy pitcher to a stabilized cup that may come in many sizes.
End-User: Student Alex Ramos from Miller Career Transition Center with Cerebral Palsy and good mental cognition.
