Halloween Makeathon: Making Halloween costumes for wheelchair users in LauraLynn Children's Hospice.

The School of Engineering in TU Dublin and its volunteering group, 3DAssist, have been working with community groups over the last 8 years in areas such a 3D printed prosthetics, braille-based devices and more recently wheelchair costume design.

Over last 2 years we have collaborated with students and staff from Marketing and Media Production and Digital Arts’, in designing and manufacturing Wheelchair costumes for Children using the services of LauraLynn, Ireland Children’s Hospice.

Our proposal is to run this project in the form of a Makeathon with the aim of involving more students and staff.
