Last fall, WPA was contacted by a group of Project Lead The Way students from Catholic Memorial High School in Waukesha, WI. The students were tasked with “finding a problem they could solve.” Two of the students have seen the challenges of Parkinson’s tremor with their grandparents, so the group decided to work on a product to help people with PD.
WPA invited the group to attend our Brookfield Support Group to present their ideas and ask for feedback from people who would actually use this product. This was a great opportunity for WPA to bring together different generations to talk about a serious everyday challenge we see. We have invited the students to come back and share their prototype once they have it!
