This is a development of the Novoyavoriv Higher Vocational School, which is made with the help of a 3D printer.

“The inventions and products of the students of our educational institutions are pleasantly surprising. This is another proof that vocational and technical education is cool, it not only gives knowledge, but also helps to raise an entrepreneur. I sincerely believe that soon many new brands will enter the Ukrainian market, which started from vocational and technical institutions, because you definitely have potential and cool ideas!” – said the deputy head of Lviv OVA Oleksandr Kulepin.
Visitors have a unique opportunity to test a computer mouse created for people with disabilities, see special eye pads to preserve vision in case of injuries. It is about the development of students of the Novoyavoriv Higher Vocational School – Wound Body. These are special pads for the eye, designed to preserve the retina of a person’s eye until the arrival of the medics.
“The usual bandage that is applied to an injured eye has the ability to peel off and thereby damage the retina of the eye. These pads will help prevent this and provide additional protection. We make pads on a 3D printer, and the technology itself was suggested to us by tactical medicine trainers. During the fair, we aim to familiarize not only with our invention, but also to collect funds for the further production of overlays, because we hand them all over to volunteers who cooperate with the teams,” – shared the students of Novoyavorivsk VPU.
Pupils from Lviv, Przemyśl, Dobrotvor, Novy Rozdol, Drohobych, Stry, Boryna, Kryvyi Rih, etc. also presented their inventions and products.
The fair will last until 6:00 p.m. at the address: Lviv, Stryi Park (14 Ulas Samchuk Street). Free entrance.
