We're Project Invent, an organization that teaches high school students how to use design and technology to solve real-world problems. We pair teams of students with individuals who face unique everyday challenges and pose those as opportunities to design new technologies. Students have designed everything from fall detectors for senior citizens to smart wallets to help the blind detect bill denominations. If you're interested in sharing your stories, inspiring youth, and creating powerful learning experiences for high school students, we would love for you to become a community partner. You can see examples of student work here: www.projectinvent.org You can also see more about what being a community partner means here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1prchJJBcFWTkIor_PiiwSSaN_vhz1Jkq/view?usp=sharing Contact us at hello@projectinvent.org if you're interested in getting involved. Thank you! Perspectives in Assistive Technology is a 10-week course that explores the
design, development, and use of technology that benefits people with disabilities and older adults. In this course, students from many academic disciplines learn about disability, assistive technology, and rehabilitation from guest lecturers and field trips to local medical and engineering facilities. Students also have the opportunity to work on projects that would benefit people with a disability and older adults in the local community. Through these project efforts, they learn and practice how to work in teams, engage with the local community, solve problems through a engineering design process, practice oral and written communication skills, exercise critical thinking, and gain confidence in their abilties - all important as they transition from students to professionals. Projects typically address difficulties in performing tasks such as working, learning, moving, communicating, accessing products (including computers), and daily living activities such as creative expression, cooking, cleaning, and pursuing happiness. Projects that explore design concepts that improve diagnosis, therapy, and rehabilitation are also pursued. At this time, I am searching for interesting student project suggestions that would address a challenge experienced by a individual with a disability or an older adult or the people who care for them. I would appreciate any project suggestions you might have. This is an excellent opportunity to have bright students work on team projects that address long-standing problems experienced by people in the local community. Here is a webpage that has more detail about what I am looking for: http://www.stanford.edu/class/engr110/projectideas.html Please contact me if you have projects to suggest or would like more information about the course or project requirements.
