Our Project So Far

Hello reader! We’re excited to show you the progress we’ve made thus far with designing an original, entirely mechanical standing wheelchair. We’re getting close to finishing our preliminary integrated design and will have this design finalized by the end of the fall 2019 semester. In the meantime, here’s a preview of what we’ve been working on. Enjoy!

If you’d like to contact us about the project, feel free to reach us at standupwheelchair@gmail.com. We’ll be back with more updates soon!
