Hacking for Lilly

Every year, Meche students use their knowledge of mechanical engineering to develop assistive technologies for people living with disabilities. At the annual Assistive Technologies Hack-a-thon – or ATHack – students are tasked with brainstorming, designing, and creating a prototype that improves the daily lives of a member of the Greater Boston community who lives with a disability.

Students participating in this year's ATHack work together to design an improved walker for 9-year-old Lilly and gain new perspective about how assistive technologies can improve the lives of others in the process.
