Springfield College Occupational Therapy majors Jill Scott, left, and Sarah DeGrand, right, recently spent some extra time in the Maker Space inside the Brown Cooper Health Sciences Center. They were putting in extra work as part of a class assignment for OCTH 530 Occupation and Technology.

The course was designed by Occupational Therapy Professor Lori Vaughn, but was being taught this semester by professor Kathy Post, with Vaughn on sabbatical.

"The students were having so much fun, and this was happening when most people had gone home for a long holiday weekend," said Post. "I was really impressed that they went into the closet, and pulled out tools that had never been used. They were working on building an adapted clasp for a necklace that will assist someone with fine motor challenges. I couldn’t get the students to leave the Maker Space, it works!"
