Students participating in the toy adaptation project saw the results of their efforts to brighten the lives of children with disabilities when they visited Starlight School and delivered more than 10 toys. First-year engineering students, along with upperclassmen Staci Wilson and Warren Wilson, spent the fall semester adapting toys accessible for children with barriers to motor, tactile, or movement skills.
