Button Pusher

The challenge

Lila often needs to push a button on her oven that is incredibly hard to press.

Who it helps

Lila is a pre veterinarian major at Penn State. Lila has EDS, which makes putting pressure on her joins painful and at risk for dislocation.

How it works

The button pusher will put the force of pushing the button on Lila's wrist which is a more stable joint than her wrist. This will cause her less joint pain.

We are building a button pusher which will be used to push the notoriously hard to press button.
