Mouth painter accessible workspace

About this project

This solution fixes Dona’s painting board, making it more aesthetic and strong. We added holes for the tools she uses so they won’t fall to the ground and made the buttons board overall more accessible for Dona to use.

The challenge

This solution was developed during the 2022 Abraham Accords Open Innovation Challenge.

It was designed with and for Bracha Fischel who lacks the use of her hands. This solution enables Bracha to carry out her passion, painting, independently.
