Rock, Paper, Scissors

Rock, Paper, Scissors - open-source assistive technology working model by the TOM International Community community

The challenge

A simple game like Rock, Paper, Scissors often excludes children with CP due to motor limits. Our solution shatters this physical barrier, ensuring every child can participate equally. This is about more than play-it’s about restoring belong

Who it helps

Kids who suffering cerebral Palsy (cp), particulary who experiance high muscle tone

How it works

Our solution ensures fair play by replacing difficult motor tasks with a simple button press. The choice is recorded, then instantaneously revealed by a servo-driven mechanism at the same moment the opponent throws their hand. This eliminates reaction-time

We are designing a compact, electro-mechanical device that replaces the hand gesture with an accessible button interface and a clear, physical output. The system uses large switches as input and raise a model of the chosen 3D printed shape.
