4:57 DB Engineers In The Final Five Nationwide Featured

Congratulations to DBHS students Ryan Lou (11), Cathleen Chen (10), Jay Yu (11), Jonathan Tan (11) and Rowland High student Nathan Jong (11) on their engineering team, DB Engineers, being named one of the five finalists in Source America’s 2019 Design Challenge. This national engineering competition highlights high school students across the country who create and enter an innovative process, device, system or software that helps people with disabilities overcome workplace challenges. The other finalist teams selected from more than 50 entries are from Ohio, Illinois, and Maryland.

The Diamond Bar High School team partnered with Opportunity Village, a nonprofit organization in Southern Nevada that serves adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Many of the employees at Opportunity Village are involved in the process of cleaning remote controls and wrapping cables, and the Diamond Bar team set the goal of increasing employee efficiency, productivity and comfort when engaging in these tasks. The team’s final design, called “Turn for a Change,” consists of three devices: two for cleaning remotes and one motorized wrapping device to wrap cable cords. The three devices enable users to wrap cables and clean remotes more easily, and since using these devices, employees at Opportunity Village have demonstrated a decrease in the time needed to complete each task and an increase in ease of use and comfort while doing so.

“This competition presents a real-world opportunity for high school students to be paired with a person with a disability in their community who is experiencing a challenge in the workplace and create a solution that significantly improves the person’s job proficiency,” said SourceAmerica Chief Operating Officer Steven Krotonsky. “It raises awareness of the struggles people with disabilities can face in the workplace, and challenges students to use their ingenuity, science and engineering skills to create their projects.”

Once students develop a piece of technology or a process designed to overcome a workplace obstacle for the person they were paired with, it must be tested, used by the individual it was designed for and implemented in the workplace to assess its effectiveness. Students then submit a video, technical paper with 3D models, worksheets and additional paperwork to complete the Design Challenge requirements.

Judges for the SourceAmerica Design Challenge are comprised of rehabilitation engineers, people with disabilities and others with relevant backgrounds. They evaluated the projects based on positive impact in the
