Uplift

Retrieving and placing canned goods on the higher shelves of her sari-sari store using a modified reacher. The device would be a short, lightweight, forearm-supported reacher with an interchangeable end attachment. Instead of requiring Nanay Weng to squeeze a trigger, the forearm cuff would help support and stabilize the device while allowing her to use her hand primarily for positioning/holding. For the prototype, we would prioritize the can-retrieval attachment first. The laundry-hanger attachment can be presented as a potential future/interchangeable attachment.

Team BioCraft

🚀 Team BIOCRAFT from the University of Kelaniya, University of Moratuwa, and NSBM is competing in the Sri Lanka Inter-University Make-A-Thon. Our project supports 🩺 Mr. S. Thileepan, a 32-year-old who suffered severe hand injuries from an electric shock, losing fine motor control. After 13 surgeries, he still struggles to work and support his family. 🔍 A key insight from our research is that when he bends his thumb toward his palm, his fingers move slightly, which we used to design assistive devices. 🛠️ We developed two solutions: ✍️ a Pen Holding Assister that helps him write 4× faster with no pain, and 🚗 a Driving Assister that improves grip and steering. Our designs follow three main principles: ✅ Low-cost for affordability, ✅ Lightweight for ease of use, and ✅ No electronics to avoid charging issues. 🌟 Our goal is to help Mr. Thileepan regain independence, secure a job, and improve his quality of life.

SARMA in Sri Lanka -Team 8: Blackkeyhole

This project aims to develop an assistive tool made from silicone to support left-handed individuals in writing or drawing. Designed for a need knower with motor challenges, the tool will help improve grip, writing speed, and letter formation by reducing muscle stiffness and incorrect finger positioning. It will be used in school and home settings, enabling independent writing and enhancing educational engagement. The tool will be ergonomically designed to ensure comfort, adaptability, and ease of use. By providing better control and stability, it will empower the user to participate more effectively in academic and creative activities, fostering confidence and independence.

Joel, a 10-year-old with Cerebral Visual Impairment (CVI), likes to see keyboard keys clearly, because currently he has to bend down while typing, causing discomfort and inefficiency. This project aims to design a tactile keyboard accessory with embossed letters and a stable, adjustable keyboard stand with height and angle adjustments to enhance visibility, comfort, and accessibility, enabling Joel to type more independently.

VITAL LABS

We thought of creating a device to aid Mr. Vivek to aid is palmar grasp and pincer grip. We used PLA as the material (as Silicon / TPU was not readily available). We created a separate print for the thumb and another piece for the index and middle fingers. Printed the piece with index and middle fingers as 2 pieces and bridged with zip ties. This products aid Vivek in his daily activities as well as in his studies...

SARMA in Sri Lanka-Team12:FLEXAID

This project, being performed by Team SAMABESITA, is to fulfill her above mentioned needs as much as possible.

Fabrication and Assistive Innovations for Therapeutic Help

The project sought to develop a custom insole and ankle support system through the utilization of cutting-edge CAD modeling and 3D printing technology. Through various processes, such as precise foot scanning, material selection, and iterative prototyping, the final product enhanced comfort and performance. User trials provided positive feedback that the new product was an improvement over existing products in terms of fit, shock absorption, and wearability. Future innovations focus on enhancing ventilation, ergonomic comfort, durability for longevity, and the use of ecologically friendly materials for better performance and sustainability.

Assistive Devices for Enhanced Independence

We developed two assistive devices to aid individuals with limited fine motor control and for onehanded. The first is a gripping tool for easier object manipulation, while the second provides support for weak triceps and low balance. Both are 3D-printable, affordable, and customizable to help users regain independence.

TEAM ACCESSIBLE: Hand grip and Use kit tool fabrication

Team Possible: No Child Left Behind

The "No Child Left Behind" initiative focuses on creating an inclusive educational environment for children with disabilities by addressing barriers like inaccessible spaces, lack of support, and societal stigma. The project emphasizes the need for personalized assistance, trained educators, and assistive tools to ensure equitable learning opportunities. By fostering a more inclusive school culture, this initiative aims to empower students with disabilities, promoting their academic growth and independence. To support this mission, various assistive devices have been developed, including stencils for improved writing, clamps for better grip, and pencil grippers for enhanced motor control. Other innovations like page turners, eraser holders, and visual aids cater to diverse needs, ensuring accessibility in everyday tasks. Additionally, the cock-up splint provides wrist support for individuals with mobility challenges. These solutions fosters accessible and inclusive education for all.

Shift Up : Driving gear holder for Jari Lal Gurung (second prize)

First, we spoke with the need knower person during the three days of Makerthon to learn more about his issue. We also took him for a test drive, covering around 5 kilometres, to learn more about the need for knowledge. After some brainstorming and several design iterations, our need-knower was eventually satisfied and pleased with the prototype. However, the ideation, printing, and testing processes presented us with numerous difficulties. However we are inspired to design more of the AT

Red King : Pen and grip holders for Kinzang Tshering (third prize)

Paper holders and mobile phone fixers for Mendrel Sherab Seldon

Day 1: Formed the team and interviewed the need-knowers to know more about the need-knower. we learned more about the difficulties faced by need-knowers. Branstormmed the list of solutions to the problem of the need-knowers. We generated five distinct concepts. We had the notion to make a phone holder, hand stretcher, paper holder, pen holder, and grip holder. Day 2: We focused on designing the concepts mentioned on Day 1. Prototyping of the printed product was done after the design was 3-D printed using a 3-D printer. Day 3: We tested the product and determined whether it was beneficial to the need-knower. took note of the need-knowers' comments.

Magic Cane : Prototype of smart cane for Pema Chhogyel (first prize)

The event aimed to address challenges faced by individuals with disabilities, particularly focusing on enhancing mobility and independence for visually impaired individuals. The team collaborated with the sight-impaired Mr. Pema Chhogyel, who works with "policy, education, advocacy and different programs for person with disabilities in Bhutan." He wants to use a sensor-equipped smart cane capable of identifying obstacles along the walking path.

Tactile Learning Mater : Prototype of Bhutan and Thimphu tectonic maps for Pema Chhogyel (and blind people)

Day 1. We started the session by introducing among ourselves. We got to know about each other, their backgrounds and profession, as well as strength and weakness so that we will be able to assign better and appropriate role for each individuals. After that, roles were assigned and then we moved on to our topic of concern. We discussed about how to go on about our project and we have come up with 2 main ideas. The first idea to be carried out is to build a map of Bhutan, which can be felt by people living with visual impairment. With this map, all individuals living with visual impairment will be able to better understand the twenty districts of Bhutan and know its location. The second idea, is to build a more detailed map of the capital city (Thimphu). In this map, there will be numerous landmarks, such as Dzongs also known as fortress, rivers, roads, mountains etc. With this idea in mind, we have come to close our first day of building a more inclusive, tactile map.
