Born with a genetic condition, 2-year-old Cillian Jackson was unable to move around independently. His parents could not afford the $20,000 motorized wheelchair he needed, and their insurance refused to cover it. + Cillian’s life changed when the robotics students at his father’s former Minnesota high school took it upon themselves to build him a custom set of wheels at an affordable price. + The multi-award winning Rogue Robotics team at Farmington High School modified a... Power Wheels toy car into a motorized wheelchair suitable for Cillian. The improvised wheelchair is equipped with a joystick, safety bumpers, and a harness. + I think we won here more than we do in our competitions, one of the team members said. + Instead of completing a task, we’re helping change someone’s life, another one added. -- h/t: KARE11 Photo: KHOU11 -- Originally posted in 2018 @globalpositivenews @globalpositivenews @globalpositivenews . . . #caring #heartwarming #positivepsychology #globalpositivenews #news #somegoodnews #tanksgoodnews #Positivenews #positivenergy #positivity #onemillionactsofgood #kindness #kindnessmatters #randomactsofkindness #actsofkindness #mademecry #imnotcrying #imnotcryingyouarecrying #highschoolstudent #robotics #disability #disabilityawareness #wheelchair #wheelchairlife #disabled #wheelchairaccessible #stem #stemeducation See more
