Safe backpack

The challenge

Robert needs a solution to prevent the backpack he carries behind his wheelchair from being stolen. He currently uses a padlock with a key and a chain that is very difficult to open, given the mobility difficulties he has.

Who it helps

Robert, a 2007 UPC architecture graduate, suffered a life-changing accident in 2013. Despite subsequent speech problems, his experience deepened his empathy, which drives him to help people with diverse abilities.
