Go Baby Go Electric Cars

Go Baby Go is a program developed to adapt children’s ride-on electric toy cars for young children with mobility challenges. The inability of children to move around their own environment contributes to delay in cognitive skills as well. Through this program, one group of Seton students adapted 4 of these cars. They had to rewire the cars so that the power is controllable by a large button on the steering wheel; they added seat belts and additional external structures to support the child. These cars will be given to families working with the Prince George’s County Infants and Toddlers Program.

Special Needs Kicking Machines

Children with physical disabilities are often not able to participate in inclusive physical education classes. They require adapted equipment that will allow them to perform similar skills as other students. One group of Seton students built 4 kicking machines that can be used by children in wheelchairs who have minimal muscle control or use of their hands and feet. The machines work by a lever being pushed down which releases a “leg” with a shoe which then kicks a ball. These machines will be given to Prince George’s County Public School Special Olympics programs.

The Story Teller's Throne/Chess Tables

Our community partner, Marsha Phillips, is the librarian at Homeward Bound and she has decided to work with us on what we could make to encourage the families there, our stakeholders, to come outside and get some fresh air and learn to create healthy relationships with their neighbors while also having fun on the chess cement tables.

Lunch Tray Prototype 

This project was completed at a school in Chicago to accommodate a student that was having difficulty carrying their food from the lunch line to the table without spilling their water/juice into their food.  As a result of this prototype 10 trays were 3D printed to help other students having the same problem.

Hereford High

Electric Guitar

Lizmi spent $23 used a few affordable resources, like an artificial intelligence-driven amplifier, to create a 3D printed, resin guitar that looked and sounded like the real deal. And it saved him some serious cash: amplifiers, pedals, replacement strings and other musical instrument maintenance can cost hundreds, if not thousands, if longevity and reliability are important.

John Hancock High School

Hydroponics System 

EPICS students and students in special education classes (cluster classes) designed and built a hydroponic system to grow vegetables, which were given to students and staff. During the process, the teams also provided students with additional skills to utilize tools and machinery.
