E.B. is interested in all-terrain adventures, including hiking, skiing, and snowshoeing. E.B. is in a wheelchair that she is comfortable in, which presents unique difficulties when hiking. Her normal wheelchair can't move through snow or over the varied terrain of a hiking trail. The existing devices for skiing for people in wheelchairs are not comfortable for E.B. and have trouble steering and going over varied terrain. 

We are thinking of solving the problem by adapting E.B.'s wheelchair that she uses every day to be able to go in snow and over varied terrain. Ronan and I right now are thinking of doing this by creating different attachments we can add to E.B.'s wheelchair instead of the wheels to allow it to go over snow and bumpy/rocky terrain. We have so far prototyped a tank tread attachment, a steerable ski attachment, and suspension wheels. 

Next week, I want to work out the more mechanical details on how we would power the attachments. I would also want to work on making larger-scale prototypes that actually function. During our visit to Waypoint, I would like to talk to E.B. and figure which activities she wants to do to help us decide which attachments we will focus on.
