Smart Seat wins two awards at TOM Bay Area Makeathon

September 16, 2015 by CoE admin Leave a Comment

Over the weekend two MEng alums, Oscar Segovia and Yakshu Madaan, participated in the Tikkum Olam Makers Bay Area Makeathon. In just 72 hours their team, “Team Smart Ass,” created a Smart Seat to help alleviate the development of pressure sores, a problem that patients confined to a wheelchair are often faced with. Huge congratulations to our alumni and their entire team for receiving both the Google.org Award for Innovation and the TechShop Award for Self Manufacturing!
