✨Throwback Thursday to a special moment! ✨

The week before the semester started, we had the joy of watching four sweet kiddos get the keys to their new rides. What a delight to watch Dakota, Jones, Lucas, and Lynnox get the freedom of their very own cars. We're so excited for them to cruise into this new chapter of their lives! 🚘

It’s Meet & Measure time! We LOVE getting to meet all the kids and their families. At this appointment we get to know each child’s needs and likes (favorite colors, cartoon characters, etc), where they’ll drive the car, and also take their measurements for a perfect custom fit. 🚘

And we're off! 🚀 We had our kickoff meeting for GoBabyGo tonight, and the energy was electric!

A huge thank you to the over 60 students from engineering, physical therapy, speech-language pathology, and more who have joined our mission.

They're ready to get to work designing and modifying custom ride-on toy cars for eight amazing children.

We are incredibly grateful to the donors who make these builds possible. Get ready for an incredible semester!

Fresh start to the new year! ✨

We're kicking the school year off with a brand new wall wrap featuring all of our amazing students and their incredible work in assistive technology. This wall celebrates all our projects, including GoBabyGo, Walkin’ & Rollin’, 3D Printed Prosthetics, and our ENGR 302 Accessible Design course. We're so proud of our students and want to give a special thank you to the generous donor who made this feature possible, and the incredible team who designed and installed it. We can't wait to see what our students accomplish this year!
