When drama teacher Chelsie King asked students in her school to come up with a way for her husband to go around the block in his wheelchair with their newborn, they were up for the challenge.
Chelsie's husband, Jeremy, underwent brain surgery three years ago, and since then it has been difficult for him to keep his balance.“He wanted to be able to safely hold his baby, but there's just really not a ton of resources out there for disabled parents,” Chelsie said.She works at the Bullis School in Germantown, Maryland, and asked her colleague Matt Zigler, who teaches the “Making for Social Good” class, for assistance.
In this course, students learn and design products to help people.The 10 high school students were excited to come up with something that could attach to the wheelchair Jeremy uses.They spoke with the Kings about their needs, conducted research on infant car seats and how they are installed, and then drafted 3D models of their designs.“I really feel the students took all my concerns to heart when creating the prototypes(原型),” Jeremy said.Two projects were selected for the students to make—one that connected an infant car seat to Jeremy's wheelchair and another that attaches an entire stroller(折叠婴儿车)to the wheelchair.
When they were done making the attachments, the students put the instructions online to help even more people.A few weeks later, the Kings went out with the car seat attachment, and found it worked perfectly.The students were excited to learn that their creation was a hit.“I feel fortunate to have been able to take a class that has allowed me to truly make a difference in someone's life, ” said Zlotnitsky.
