A student in the Bangkok International School is using the Segway for a project in her Design Technology class.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
I am in the last year of the IB program at the New International School of Thailand, in Bangkok. For an assignment in my Design Technology class, I am researching the technology and performance characteristics of the Segway, and contrasting them to older technology, showing the advantages of the Segway in aiding the physically disabled. I will eventually produce a 4,000-word essay, with accompanying photos and drawings.
I have talked to Mr. Jeff Jarvis several times; he taught me how to ride the Segway, and has discussed with me some unique ideas for applying this technology to the needs of disabled persons. In an effort to adequately describe the full potential of this marvelous invention, I would appreciate receiving comments from readers on current innovative uses of the Segway for and by the disabled, but also on its future potential.
I thank you in advance for any assistance you can give me.
Sincerely,
Kimberly H.
