Students build mobility cars for kids with disabilities

Original: ‘It’s magical’: Students build mobility cars for kids with disabilities

Students have built adapted ride-on mobility cars for young children with disabilities, in a project described by those involved as 'magical'. The custom vehicles give toddlers who cannot walk independently a way to move around on their own, often before they are eligible for standard powered wheelchairs. The story is drawing attention for combining hands-on engineering skills with a direct, life-changing benefit for the children and their families.

Why now: The heartwarming combination of student engineering and direct help for disabled children is resonating widely.
