HappyWalk
About this project
HappyWalk is a low-cost, adjustable pediatric walker made of wood and 3D-printed plastic parts. It promotes mobility and independence for children with disabilities, and allows them to participate in the design process through coloring the plastic pieces.
The challenge
HappyWalk is needed as it provides an affordable and accessible solution for children with mobility challenges. Traditional walkers can be expensive and hard to use. Children with disabilities need safe and supportive aids to explore and move independently
Who it helps
Sarah, 4, needs walking support due to her condition. Her parents tried other aids, but they didn't work or were too expensive. She wants to explore and be independent.
How it works
HappyWalk provides safe and supportive mobility for children with disabilities. Its adjustable design and low-cost materials make it accessible to families in need. Involving children in the design process promotes creativity and independence.
Tools needed
