Design
Our process began with a traffic of ideas. We were first interested in making pavements and walkways more accessible to people with limited mobility. However, as we continued our research into this area, we came across the idea of making playgrounds more easily accessible for children with disabilities, as it was an realm that had not been explored as much.

Concept Progress
Concept
As we drove deeper into possible solutions to making a more accessible playground structure, we found ourselves inspired by the classic carnival racing games...
Current Solutions
Many current solutions needed required heavy adult aid to get in and out of the equipment, and were often very isolating as a result
Sketch and Design
From our inspirations, we then sketched out a first draft of our solution, which we initially coined as "Car Racer", where kids of all abilities could race mini car pieces around a track
Feedback
We then proposed our solution to our "clients" at an elementary school in Brooklyn and received the green-light to continue
