Senior Design Project: Art Therapy Kit
For my undergraduate senior design challenge, my team researched, design, and fabricated an Art Therapy Kit for disability therapy in classrooms. This project involved designing an all inclusive art kit that could accommodate any disability in a classroom by providing the therapist with access to many adaptive tools. This project involved creating a product from concept to fabrication through customer research, CAD design, rapid prototype testing, and final product fabrication.
