Apollo Stair Climbing Wheelchair
Pioneered the development of the Apollo Stair Climbing Wheelchair together with my fellow Biomedical Engineering Students. We used several technologies that were open to the public to design, develop and assemble the stair climbing wheelchair. Abraham, my fellow colleague and I were responsible for the design of the stair climbing wheelchair.
Gathiga Children's Home Refurbishment
Together with the Deutsch Klub 254 we were able to organise for a programme to go to Gathiga Children's home and refurbish it. This included helping in the renovation of their structures, clean their compounds, clean their clothes and beddings, collecting and preparing firewood and preparing a sumptuous meal for the young ones.
Stem cell therapy
Developed a pancreas from umbilical mesenchymal stem cells. Research indicates that there are stem cellwhich are found in the umbilical cord and equally within our bodies. The stem cells are able to differentiate into specific organs, tissues or cells if the correct genetic sequence that codes for the function of the respective organ is injected. For instance the liver is responsible for deamination and detoxification. The project was able to reach the regionals level at the Kenya Science and Engineering Fair
