FARMINGTON, Minn. (WSVN) — A high school robotics team came together to build a special wheelchair for a 2-year-old boy.

According to KARE, the Farmington Public Schools’ Rogue Robotics Team built an electric wheelchair for little Cillian Jackson after they discovered his family couldn’t afford a similar one for $20,000.

Jackson’s mobility has been impacted by a rare genetic condition, and his parents said their insurance likely wouldn’t cover a wheelchair since Cillian lacks the maturity and focus to operate one.

Our secret is out! For the past few weeks our team dedicated themselves to make a wheel chair for Cillian. We’d like to give a special thank you to Cillian’s parents for reaching out to us and giving us such an amazing opportunity! We’d also like to thank our mentors who helped us get it done right before the holidays! What a terrific way to end our preseason!

When the students heard the family’s predicament, they jumped at the opportunity to help.

After two weeks and with some help from the University of Delaware, the team constructed a small wheelchair for Cillian to get around.

The team replaced the electrical components in a Power Wheels toy and mounted a seat from a bicycle carrier to create the chair. The team also designed a joystick so Cillian can operate it.

The joystick also bears Cillian’s name.

Cillian’s parents said the wheelchair has helped with his mobility.

“This really helps him explore like he’s never been able to do before,” Cillan’s mom said.
