Toys for Everyone!

(1) $100 e-gift card
Some university students took on a mission to make toys more inclusive for kids with disabilities. They chose a dome-shaped lantern activated by small, hard-to-press buttons – a challenge for children with limited hand dexterity. They disassembled the lanterns and swapped the buttons with large, 3D-printed ones that were easy to press. One student said, "I'm not an engineer, so this is cool."
