Build & Ride by Adam Higgins
MSc Industrial Design student Adam Higgins has made a bike that must be assembled to be used, which aims to improve children's coordination and motor skills. Called Build & Ride, the bike's construction consists of a ten-step process. Once built, the bike intends to give the child confidence and a sense of achievement.
"Build & Ride is a children's balance bike that engages users with practical STEM learning outcomes," said Higgins. "Gaining a great sense of accomplishment and confidence, the child can hit the ground running with their first bike adventure."
