Magic Wheel Chair

We have an Awesome opportunity to do a crazy Awesome thing.  We get to make a Cosplay Costume for a Kiddo in a wheel chair.  The goal of Magic Wheel Chair is to let you meet the Kiddo before you meet their disability.

Meet Reina...  

I don't know lot's yet.  I'm going to meet her on Saturday... but so far I know she loves Sponge Bob, Princesses, Peppa Pig, Minions, and fairy type with unicorns. She also LOVES all types of buses, mainly school buses...

Between now and Halloween (probably the week before Halloween), we are going to build a cool Cosplay costume around Reina's wheel chair... And Reina, wants to be Mrs. Frizzle and ride in a Magic School Bus

Planning Team and Everyone Else...

OK, I'm going to be team lead and the liaison with the family, but I want to involve as many classes and teachers and Staff as want to help... and we are going to need help... lots of help.

I'm going to have my Mechatronics Students form a design team, and I have talked to Cassidy for his Student help for any welding we may need and Johnny's Students help for some fashion design support...  

I'm going to setup a schedule of in class work and after school work where we can design, build and deliver this Magic Wheel Chair.
