Rohan is a 17-year-old senior at Millard North High School in Omaha, NE and an incoming freshman at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign majoring in Computer Science. He has been a member of Boy Scouts for the past 5 years and is an Eagle Scout. He has also organized a build event to modify assistive mobility vehicles and worked to create 3D-printed prosthetic hands. He also completed an internship at a company working to develop low-cost, advanced prosthetic hands.
In 2018, Rohan took on the project of building modified cars for his Eagle Scout project. He became enamored by the fact that he could transform just a few hours and limited money into something that children with developmental disabilities could use, while fostering social and motor growth.
In 2019, Aanand began volunteering at the Neurologic Music Therapy Services of Arizona (NMTSA)®, where he was introduced to the role of music in rehabilitation therapy for children with developmental disorders. His passion to directly help children with developmental disabilities gain a sense of freedom inspired him to start an organization with which he could accomplish that aspiration.
In July of 2021, we founded Magical Motors with the goal of initiating an organized system of building assistive technologies for children while creating chapters throughout the world.
