What is Creative Innovators?

Creative Innovators Project is a hands-on creative problem-solving organization where students learn to think outside the box, work as a team build with real materials, and bring big ideas to life. Through challenges, workshops, community events, and competition teams, students develop confidence, creativity, leadership, communication, and real-world problem-solving skills.

Vehicle Challenge

Think About This:

  • Do you know someone who uses a wheelchair or has had need of a wheelchair?

  • How do vehicles accommodate someone who uses a wheelchair?

  • How does the wheelchair get in? How does it staying place? Is the person in the wheelchair a passenger or the driver?

Your passenger is a real person — a grandparent, a neighbor, a friend. They need to get somewhere important today, but the trip isn’t easy.

In 30 seconds, tell us:

• Who are they?
