Abstract: This quarter eight 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.
