TOM: Vanderbilt Makeathon

The TOM: Vanderbilt community had their annual Makeathon on November 5-7 2021, led by TOM 2022-23 Fellow Lauren Grohowski. The event featured 9 teams of Makers – totaling to more than 60 students – who worked with local children to solve their neglected challenges.

Student teams created prototypes including a 3-D printed seat-belt grip that makes buckling in easier, a flute attachment that allows a girl who only has one hand to play, a contraption to promote independent feeding through a feeding tube, and a walker-friendly rain poncho, just to name a few!
