The design team is tasked with modifying the current button-making process at the Hozhoni Foundation. The current machine is difficult to operate in several regards, and by modifying the button press and the process of how it's made, Hozhoni will be able to provide a larger number of clients with a job and income. Currently, clients need significant leg strength, balance, manual dexterity, and high visual acuity. The team hopes to reduce the skills needed to operate the button press so that more clients have an opportunity to work.
