Her parents and therapists wanted a sensory wall designed not only to entertain her, but to stimulate her and encourage creativity. A group of UTC students took on the challenge of designing the wall for Layla. The group included Braxton Tawry, Casey Hale, Katie Zager, and Wesley Donesky.<\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI enjoy helping people develop and I enjoy kids. I want to be a camp counselor. I also enjoy a lot of the toys we put on the walls and I thought this project would be a great fit for me,\u201d Zager said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Because the project was designed for use by a child, the group had to take particular care to make sure it was safe. The structure had to be stable and sturdy, as well as free from sharp edges.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The group included objects such as a xylophone, a pinwheel, a feather duster, light switches, Christmas lights, and a motorized fan. The design of the wall places these activities two feet off of the ground, to encourage Layla to stand while playing, practicing balance and coordination.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cSome of the objects we chose ended up being used differently than we initially intended, and I wish we would have gotten more light switches and Christmas lights, because I think those are really stimulating,\u201d Zager said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The base of the wall features a compartment that houses the batteries for the fan and the Christmas lights, as well as wheels which can be used to roll the device. This compartment is behind a locked panel that can be opened by Layla\u2019s parents.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThough we had to correct a few things, like gluing a few pieces down better, I feel like it\u2019s a success, and I\u2019m glad we could make this for Layla,\u201d Zager said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The team project was presented at the 2015 Engineering Showcase.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A group of UTC students took on the challenge of creating a sensory wall designed to stimulate and encourage practicing balance and coordination for a six-year-old girl who was born with premature birth defects.<\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-wrap\"><span><a class=\"more-link button text\" href=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2016\/02\/engineering-students-design-sensory-wall-child\/\"><span>Continue Reading <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":857,"featured_media":14754,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_slider":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_featurette":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[59,64],"tags":[12763,12815],"class_list":{"0":"post-14751","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-college-of-engineering-and-computer-science","8":"category-news","9":"tag-college-of-engineering-and-computer-science","10":"tag-engineering-showcase","11":"entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
