Musical instruments operated by a switch

The challenge

Make the use of musical instruments accessible to children with intellectual disabilities and cerebral palsy

Who it helps

In the rehabilitation institution for children with disabilities, a lot of attention is required with limited number of staff members. To allow playing during music lessons for children with physical limitations, the teacher need to be with each child.

How it works

The product will provide a way that will allow children with disabilities who have difficulty and sometimes cannot play music to perform this operation independently.

Give all the children the opportunity to participate in the music lessons with the help of a large electronic button connected wirelessly to a mechanical mechanism that will play the desired instrument.
