Switch-Adapted RC Car

The challenge

RC cars are not accessible for young children with low hand dexterity since they cannot push the buttons. This project helps to make the RC car more accessible by switch-adapting the buttons.

Who it helps

Susan Gray School integrates children with and without disabilities in the same classrooms. This solution allows the children with disabilities to play with their peers using adapted toys.

How it works

This solution will enable children with low hand dexterity to play with an RC car using more accessible controls.

The solution is a switch-adapted remote control for a dinosaur RC car, using larger, more accessible buttons.

Tools needed

Protective glasses

Screwdriver set

Cutter

Hot glue gun

Soldering set
