A group of high school STEM students and college students in Connecticut have been working together to build fully-functioning electric carts for families with kids with disabilities who might not be able to afford adaptive wheelchairs. Teens from New Britain High School and technology education students from Central Connecticut State University have built the carts from scratch together.
The project is part of their "Go Baby, Go!" local chapter, which is an organization that helps children with disabilities get to move around independently. The students learned how to build the custom carts that are shaped like cars for local kids in need and the kids get them for free. The program is really cool for the kiddos who get the carts, but it’s also important for the STEM students because they aren’t just learning to how to build robots, but “robots with a purpose.”
