They are focused on making sure the children have the best experience possible at the hospital even in non-ideal circumstances.

The engineering team was fortunate to be able to visit the hospital and do an outreach event with the kids there and play fun games the incorporated STEAM (Science, technology, engineering, art and math) concepts. The Child Life Specialists at the hospital played a key role in helping the team understand the unique requirements the hospital has in order to create a safe and clean toy for the kids playing with it. The team has had an amazing experience working with Children Hospital Colorado and can’t wait to deliver the education STEAM toy to the kids!

The projects that students can pick to work on range from government projects to the biomedical field and even working to create STEAM toys for kids at the Children’s Hospital in Colorado. This is the project the these seven mechanical engineers chose to work on. With the help of excellent professors and former students from DCC, this team was able to deliver a final product in just under nine months.
