Campus news
NDSU engineering students are putting their skills to the test to make the holiday season more enjoyable for children of all abilities. Playing with off-the-shelf toys is often not possible for children with physical and motor disabilities, depending on their unique abilities; however, toys can be modified so the original switches are rerouted to a larger switch that is more accessible and easy to operate. "I got involved with the Toy Adapt-a-thon because I thought it was a good way to use knowledge acquired from my electrical engineering classes in a more impactful way," Noah Vandal, a first-year biomedical engineering master's degree student from Barnesville, Minnesota, said. "I am able to modify toys that can be immediately used by kids with disabilities, something that I am sure they appreciate." Toy modifications took place during the fourth annual Toy Adapt-a-thon at NDSU on Monday, Dec. 5, and Thursday, Dec. 8. NDSU partnered with area therapy groups to distribute the donated toys but also encouraged suggestions for any child in need of an adapted toy. |
