Sandesh felt children in 2nd and 3rd grade were intimidated to learn basketball because of the height of a standard basketball hoop. He Imagined ways to adjust the height of the hoop to help make learning basket ball easier for younger kids. He made a portable basketball stand with a adjustable hoop for various heights. Initially, he used a hoola hoop which he could carry around and hold at different heights. He then improvised the design using PVC pipes and a CNC routed hoop. Moreover, he added a feature through which kids could use the same portable basketball stand to learn passing as well.
