With Heart and High-Tech - How People Solve Challenges

Physical limitations as a chance for innovative ideas and smart solutions.

Some people take their physical limitations as a challenge to break new ground. Nicolas lost his hand in an accident at work. He developed a functional prosthesis for himself using 3D printing. Today he shares his knowledge with others in open workshops - so-called "fablabs". The young Swiss Bernada is almost blind. With courage, willpower and technology, she nevertheless pursues her great passions - sport and music. A speech computer even enables her to study independently. The German company "Bionics" develops exoskeletons that optimally support people during hard physical work. A booth builder who has already had three herniated discs is thrilled. These people and their ideas can be a role model for all of us.
