"The course equips students with an interdisciplinary set of tools to design, build, and critique technologies that mediate access to physical and digital worlds.  We use disability, specifically blindness and low-vision, as a lens to examine the ways in which technology (e.g., assistive, medical, consumer) can both enhance and diminish access to economic, social, and informational resources.  Students will examine the history of such technologies and analyze modern trends.  Building from this perspective, students will learn about design processes and implementation strategies for maximizing the accessibility of the technologies they build." (T.A.D. course website)

For the final project for this class, we collaborated with a community partner who was a wheelchair user and co-designed with him to create a product that other DIYers could hopefully replicate.
