| Registration is now open on the Student Design Competition website. By registering, student teams are indicating their intent to submit their project by April 17,2014.
We want to make sure that every student with a great idea and a desire to improve the lives of people with disabilities knows about this annual competition, and are asking for your help. Please click here for more information on the competition and this year’s competition flyer. We would appreciate your help in getting the word out about this year’s competition.
All entries are posted and promoted on the Student Design Competition website. Semi-finalists receive an all-expense paid trip for two to RESNA’s annual conference and a free membership to RESNA. One design is awarded the “Technology Most Likely to Become Commercially Available,” which includes a cash prize and an internship at the Center for the Translation of Rehabilitation Engineering Advances and Technology (TREAT) to further develop the design for market.
We’re grateful to TREAT for their continuing support of the competition. Our 2012 TREAT award winner, Seong-Hee Yoon from the University of North Carolina, had a fantastic experience developing her design, the “Braille-Bot,” at the TREAT facilities in Lebanon, NH. This really is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Read all about it by clicking here.
