Project Info: Tufts Assistive Technology Hackathon, Group Project

Project Timeline: 1 week (April 2022)

Skills and Techniques: Ideation and rapid prototyping, CAD modeling, 3D printing

OVERVIEW

Brief: Creating a quick hand splint tool to keep the left thumb in place for a community member with cerebral palsy in one week. The involuntary movement in her left hand causes Adriana to injure herself, especially during her sleep. The main goal is to design a tool that would protect the client's hand from injury.
