Michigan Tech Students Help Parapelegic Play

August 25, 2008

My eldest desperately wants to go to Michigan Tech. He’s only 12, but has decided that his calling in life is to be an engineer.

Here’s a great story about a group of Michigan Tech students who designed a device that lets a paraplegic fellow student play golf

The device is built onto a golf bag, and is controlled by a joystick. It uses compressed air and two large gears to swing the club.
