Christophers Thesis Honours Project for his Mechatronic Engineering Degree at Curtin University was in the research of how rehabilitation for children could be gamified and improved through the use of interactive technology. Christopher created a prototype interaction device that could be used by those struggling with hand injuries to play a selection of games that helped train core functionality, including coordination, control of motion, and range of motion.

This project required skills in microcontroller design and interaction, C++ and python programming and developing an understanding of key user needs. This project served as a way to expand key technical skills, as well as expanding the idea of what it means to be an engineer who focused on helping others through technology.

This project started a major passion for working in assistive technology, and using engineering as a means to help improve the lives of others.
