O.P.EN. that door

The students at Gulliver Prep are at it again - designing assistive tech devices for those with disabilities.

The Operational Portable Entry Device aka O.P.EN., might win them a prize this Thursday at the National Engineering Design Challenge in Washington, D.C., but they say that's not what it's about anymore. The device "uses a telescopic mechanical arm with a clamp at the end to open doors. When attached to a wheelchair, it pivots horizontally and is adjustable vertically." It's shown in the video below.




Good luck to these hardworking students!
