In the Hand in Hand STEM enrichment program, students learn and follow the steps of the engineering design process (EDP) while learning about assistive devices and biomedical and mechanical engineering with actual engineers. Student teams will receive a fictional client statement and follow the EDP steps to design products such as an assistive devices for persons with fine motor skill disabilities, an off-road wheelchair, a portable wheelchair ramp, or an automatic floor sweeper computer program. Students brainstorm ideas, identify suitable materials and demonstrate different methods of representing solutions to their design problems-scale drawings or programming descriptions, and simple models or classroom prototypes.
