Nova OT Students in the Garden

One of the OT students from Nova helped to adapt a digital camera into a switch activated camera. So now the kids can take the pictures of happenings at school! We had to solder one wire to one contact point inside the camera and the other wire to the second contact point. When the kids push the switch. the connection is completed, and the camera snaps a picture!

We changed out the switch so it is now a simple push switch rather than this pull style switch. Thanks Leshia for helping to create this great camera!!

One of the kids will take all of the pictures of the garden party.

Another OT student from Nova built shelves for our garden so the kids can do planting in their wheelchairs, gait trainers, or while standing and holding on to the shelves. There is now a shelf on either side of the raised garden bed. We decided to use shelves instead of building more raised beds because we realized that pressure treated wood has chemicals in it that are not good to have near soil that will hold edible plants. With the shelves we can garden in safe containers while still being accessible to the children.

Check back in a few days to see the garden party pictures!
