During this session we met Diego, he is an a 11 year child with agenesis in his left hand ( Definition of Agenesis : In medicine, agenesis refers to the failure of an organ to develop during embryonic growth and development due to the absence of primordial tissue. ) and his mother. They talked to us about the problems that Diego can encouter in order to use things, like his drone or the jumping-ropes during is basketball trainings. We tried to work on a device to let him use the drone controller the best way possible, inspired by the controllers that we can find in the FABlab.

We so that some others groups wanted to work on the controller so we managed to work on the jumping rope. We found that the main problem is that Diego doesn’t have the capacity to handle the jump rope cause it slips so we thought about a type of gauntlet to attach the rope.
