Cillian Jackson can now walk

Cillian Jackson, a little boy of two years old could not walk on his own because of a genetic disease.

It  began when  doctor told Cillian'sparents about a program. It is called GO BABY GO and it is made for children with limited mobility.

They had a look at it but there wasn't any way to get the programm near to Jackson family's home in Farmington. There is an other solution which are motorized wheelchairs but it is very expensive, it can cost 1000£.

So the parents asked the robotics team at Farmington High School if the students would be willing to take on the project.

They said yes ans they used models from the original programm.They worked to give him more freedom in his movements.

They used all the things they did before to achieve this project.

The machine works like a toy. At first, the seat was too big so they ordered a new one on Amazon so that Cillian can't fall out.

This story proved that with the improvement of the science and informatic, we will do a lot of things in the future in the field of medecine.
