Tech for Independence
FFSN supports a student assistive-engineering team—Taeui Kang, Woosup Chung, Aiden Lee, and Jayden Bae—who partner with our buddies to design and modify tools that can make daily activities easier and more independent.
Each project begins by listening to the individual, identifying a real-life challenge, and working together to design and improve a solution that fits that person’s needs.
Have a daily activity that could be made easier through assistive engineering?
