A 13-year-old boy, Zac Waters, from Lehi, Utah, dedicated his summer to creating a custom wheelchair for a 21-month-old girl. Waters discovered the nonprofit MakeGood, which provides 3D-printed mobility devices, and leveraged his passion for 3D printing to contribute. He spent approximately 300 hours designing, printing, testing, and assembling the chair, specifically tailored to the toddler’s individual requirements. This remarkable project demonstrates the potential of 3D printing technology to address accessibility challenges. Waters’ initiative exemplifies youth innovation and a commitment to helping others. The custom-built chair promises to significantly improve the toddler’s mobility and quality of life. MakeGood facilitates connections between those needing devices and makers like Waters.
