Automatic opene

When a high school student with Muscular Dystrophy became unable to open his own locker, two of his classmates from the robotics club created an automatic opener. The locker opens with a wave of the hand, and closes just as easily.

The two students who made the device were more than happy to help their classmate regain his independence. Recently, they received a small grant to develop the technology further and make more units for other students in need.
