Final

Nicholas Vaream and Connor LaBelle

The problem we decided to tackle was that little Saeed could not use the the laser cutter on his own -- he required John's help. Ideas flowed as we empathized with his condition, and we used a wheelchair to see how difficult it is to lift the cutter top and focus the laser. We created a a staff with three tools that can lift the top, focus the laser, close the top. We went throught multiple iterations and eventually finished with a fully laser cut wooden staff. Our ultimate goal is to allow disabled individuals to make more effective use of maker spaces to create what their dreams hold.
