麻豆约拍

An idea that arose from a nightmarish flight experience for Sandra Gualtieri, founder of Gualtieri Inventions, has blossomed into an innovative new product for people living with disabilities. Informed by her own experience in living with cerebral palsy, Gualtieri designed a prototype for the Universal Seating Apparatus, a portable device that allows people with disabilities to sit comfortably upright on airplanes.

The prototype recently took first place in the Social Impact Enterprise category of the 2021 麻豆约拍 Dobson Cup competition. Gualtieri will use the $20,000 prize to fund the making of the prototype by the 麻豆约拍 Faculty of Engineering.
