LSU Department of Biological & Agricultural Engineering

The BREC Foundation recently provided a grant to a student team in the LSU Department of Biological & Agricultural Engineering. This team is looking at 3D printed playground components as part of an effort to create 3D tactile maps of playgrounds so that children who are visually impaired and blind can navigate playgrounds with confidence. Pictured are (from left) Professor Marybeth Lima, students Isabelle Maxwell, Shane Vallery, Jamekia Colbert, Eva Gatune, and Abdullah Alturaifi, and BREC Foundation President Christopher Adams. Fischer Robinson is also pictured via zoom.
