Our university and Unidad Educativa Especial Stephen Hawking School inaugurated the Sensor perception or multisensory stimulation room which will help the development of children and teenagers who attend this school.

The idea is part of Marisol Angamarca’s and Monica Angamarca’s graduation project; they both major in electronics and automation. The project was supported by our university’s UNESCO chairs program for inclusive technologies. The multisensory stimulation room stimulates children’s senses, measures their oxygen levels and heart rate. The room is designed to adapt to the children’s anthropometry, it helps develop muscles, bones and joints, since they are responsible, along with the Nervous System, for the body’s movement.

Eduardo Pinos, director of the electronics undergraduate program in our branch campus in Cuenca, stated the university is always pleased to help society and in this case help improve the development of children’s senses. Mery Vicuña, representative of the ministry of education, congratulated both institutions for the implementation of this tool that will benefit people with disabilities. 

Students and professors from our university constantly work on projects that will benefit society and help solve its problems.
