It consists of semi-weekly in-person discussions; lectures by

trip to an accessible inclusive playground; an Assistive Technology

Abstract: This quarter nine student teams have
been addressing problems experienced by individuals with disabilities or older
adults and have been working to research, brainstorm, design, fabricate, and
test a prototype device or software to meet the identified problem. Each team
will give a formal presentation detailing their project activities. Please note
that this was a seven-week team project effort and the students' prototypes are
not intended to represent commercial offerings.
