ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. \u2014 UCF students and student-athletes will team up with Orlando Health on Monday to build space-themed ride-on cars for Central Florida children with limited mobility.<\/p>\n

The Go Baby Go! event will bring together more than 20 UCF physical therapy students, student-athletes and Orlando Health Jewett Orthopedic Institute team members to modify and decorate 10 battery-powered ride-on cars.<\/p>\n

Five Central Florida children will receive the customized cars, which can include supportive seating and adapted controls designed to help children move and play more independently.<\/p>\n

The build will begin at 10 a.m. Monday, Oct. 12, at UCF\u2019s Wayne Densch Center for Student-Athlete Leadership. Families are expected to arrive for the car presentation around 11:15 a.m.<\/p>\n

The space-themed event comes ahead of UCF\u2019s 10th annual Space Game on Oct. 30.<\/p>\n

UCF said its Go Baby Go! program has provided more than 220 specially modified cars to children since the university\u2019s chapter began in 2015.<\/p>\n
