With foam board, hinges, fabric and other materials, students from Lyman Moore Middle School in Portland solved some everyday problems for residents of the Inn at Village Square in Gorham on Monday.
Students in Julie Marshall’s technology class designed adaptive devices to help residents in the assisted-living community cope with two common challenges: carrying a cup of coffee while using a walker or wheelchair, and holding a book with weak or arthritic hands.
