In this episode, Brendan and Greg Vanderbeek from the College of Engineering and Applied Science at the University of Colorado discuss the design and development of adaptive bikes in collaboration with local organizations in Boulder. The program aims to create lightweight, accessible bikes for individuals with disabilities, fostering a user-centered design process and meaningful collaboration with athletes to ensure the bikes meet their specific needs. The university's partnership with companies like SRAM and 3D Systems has been instrumental in supporting the project, as the future of 3D printing holds great potential for assistive technology and prosthetics, allowing for rapid prototyping and mold creation. The project not only creates tangible products but also fosters a shift in students' mindset towards accessibility and inclusion.
