About this project:
Assistive Medical Technologies (AMT) is an undergraduate club dedicated to designing, building and distributing cost-effective models of assistive medical devices for non-discriminatory access and availability to all groups of people. We modify toy ride-on cars and develop custom devices for children with mobility restrictions. Through custom DIY technologies, awareness events and educational workshops, we hope to foster a supportive community that addresses the individual needs of children with mobility restrictions in the local community.
We host biannual workshops as larger-scale car builds. During a workshop, families in need of a car come to campus and meet our members. Members then talk to families, learn about the child they’re modifying for and then get to work modifying cars for each participating family. At the end of the workshop, families go home with their modified cars for free.
How your support makes a difference!
Your gift will help Assistive Medical Technologies travel to different areas of the country to modify cars. Some of these traveling opportunities include hosting workshops out-of-state, attending conferences and tech fairs, and visiting hospitals to modify cars on the spot. Opportunities such as these raise awareness and make more medical professionals aware of the opportunity for cars!
Gifts to this project support a variety of costs for Assistive Medical Technologies, such as materials and travel.
