Oda Al-anizi (Artsci카지노 게임 컬렉션�18) has dreamed for years of a better way to get around in his wheelchair. Public transportation has never really granted him the freedom he desires and a specialized motor vehicle is out of the question because of various obstacles, most notably cost.

As he saw more and more electric bikes and scooters on the road, Mr. Al-anizi wondered if a similar device for wheelchair users might be the answer. He envisioned driving his wheelchair onto a motorized vehicle that would help him get to his destinations more quickly and efficiently.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�I really believe there카지노 게임 컬렉션�s a spot in the market for a device like this,카지노 게임 컬렉션� Mr. Al-anizi says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�For people like me who want to go to work or go to school, it카지노 게임 컬렉션�s too complicated. My hope is that this device is considered an e-bike so you카지노 게임 컬렉션�re not going to need a driver카지노 게임 컬렉션�s licence or insurance and there will be no gas costs. It will be extremely cost effective.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

Mr. Al-anizi reached out to (QIC) in January 2015 to make that idea a reality. QIC connected the student with , a student group dedicated to using entrepreneurial action to transform lives and shape a more sustainable world.

Jane Shui (Com카지노 게임 컬렉션�16) and Razvan Vulcu (Com카지노 게임 컬렉션�16), co-chairs of Enactus Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s, were supportive of Mr. Al-anizi카지노 게임 컬렉션�s vision. The co-chairs formed Whee-Bike along with Callum O카지노 게임 컬렉션�Shaughnessy (Sc카지노 게임 컬렉션�17) and Thiago De Oliveira (Sc카지노 게임 컬렉션�17). In addition to the executive, the project team boasts a team of dedicated electrical and mechanical engineering students. As the project has progressed, the team has consulted with occupational therapy and public policy students.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�Working with students from different faculties and disciplines has been a great learning opportunity,카지노 게임 컬렉션� Ms. Shui says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�We don카지노 게임 컬렉션�t get nearly enough chances in our programs to interact with people from different backgrounds.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

Over the past several months, the students have designed a vehicle that resembles a chariot. A person in a wheelchair would board the vehicle from the back using a ramp powered by Bluetooth technology. Once in, the wheelchair would be secured using Q카지노 게임 컬렉션�Straint, a system developed by a team of students and specialists at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s in the 1980s. The person would then operate the electric vehicle using hand controls.

As they developed the plans, the students consulted several faculty advisors including Dr. Ron Anderson, who researches vehicle dynamics, and Dr. Kevin Deluzio, who specializes in the biomechanics of human locomotion. The students have accessed 3D drawing software thanks to a sponsorship with Dassault Systemes and have also received financial support from QIC as part of  and mentorship from Executive Director Greg Bavington. The team will be participating in the QIC Summer Initiative Bootcamp beginning next week as part of its QyourVenture training.

The variety of resources has given the students the support they need to apply what they have learned in the classroom over the past several years.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�For a lot of the engineering students working on this project, this is our first step outside of academia,카지노 게임 컬렉션� Mr. De Oliveira says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�It카지노 게임 컬렉션�s the first time where we카지노 게임 컬렉션�re not talking about grades, but something that카지노 게임 컬렉션�s real and going to help people. That카지노 게임 컬렉션�s amazing and great.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

The project received positive feedback during a recent Enactus regional exposition held in Mississauga. The team won an impact award and $500 during the Scotiabank Youth Empowerment Challenge, a competition that sees students develop and deliver projects that address the needs and opportunities facing youth, as it relates to education, learning skills and lifelong success.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�The award signals that the judges felt the project has the potential to have a significant impact on Oda and other youth,카지노 게임 컬렉션� Mr. Vulcu says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�Just as importantly, we received good feedback from the judges on various aspects of the project and how to polish our presentation.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

Over the summer, the students intend to assemble the prototype. They are also working on meeting the regulatory requirements set out in Ontario legislation and developing a marketing strategy.
