Hackcessible

What is Hackcessible? Hackcessible is a global Assistive Technology innovation incubator consisting of series of workshops and an annual make-a-thon that brings together engineers, designers, computer scientists, students and others to collaborate with individuals with disabilities and create workable products that support their needs. What makes us different? We want to put end-users at the heart of the make-a-thon, inviting them to lead the project as “Co-designers” and to participate in every aspect of Hackcessible, from the workshops to the make-a-thon, to ensure we design products that are useful and effective in solving everyday challenges. Why take part? You are guaranteed to learn and apply new skills. A golden opportunity to build a great network and make new friends. Gain experience in turning concepts into actions. You’ll have built something by the end of the weekend! It may not be completely finished but you should have an early prototype solution to present. Make a difference and change lives. You could get external recognition – be part of something that may be considered for commercialisation. Win prizes. Have fun!
