Sint-Lodewijk in Belgium is a school for children with mental-motor disablities. The DIATH team formulated a project proposal to design construction toys apted to their children. The wish was to have them resemble as much as possible to traditional toys. After all children with a disability want to play with the same toys like their brothers and sisters. Koen, a Belgian engineer and CSE student presented his prototype at the REVA fair. The pictures tell us he did a great job!
