Fists of Freedom

In collaboration with Richmond's Children's Hospital, Virginia Commonwealth University mechanical engineering students designed and built a game controller for children with cerebral palsy and muscular dystrophy. Now these children can explore and enjoy a world of games that was previously denied to them while opening a new avenue of research that might help children with disabilities.

Virginia Commonwealth University and NBC-12 teamed up to create the series called "It's VCU" to showcase this urban university, located in the heart of Richmond. VCUs diverse students, faculty and programs, superior teaching, steady growth and groundbreaking research are shaping Richmond, the state and the region.
