Shopping Cart to Crutch Adapter

The challenge

Jenna was in a car accident recently and Lisfranc fractured her foot, forcing her to be on crutches for 6 months. During this time Jenna has had trouble grocery shopping independently as she could not push a cart and use her crutches at the same time.

Who it helps

Jenna is a college student studying public relations and political science.

How it works

This device will allow individuals on crutches to grocery shop independently.

We are building a device that will allow users to use their crutches to push a shopping cart.

Tools needed

Protective glasses

PC or MAC I7 +
