TEAMS Exploration - Assistive Technology and Electronics

Brief Overview:

Assistive Technology & Electronics

High school student in the
Assistive Techology Lab

Did you know that more than 55 million Americans have some type of disability? Engineers and scientists use their talents to help disabled people adapt to their environments in many ways. In this workshop, see how creative you are as you develop a personal fan to use at a Red Sox game. Suppose your friend injured her hand and can’t turn on her fan on a hot Fenway day. Can you think outside the box to find design alternatives? In this workshop you’ll brainstorm design ideas, then you’ll try your hand at electronics and build a few different prototypes. Which design is the best solution?

Bring home a fan & electronics kit to continue your experiment!
