Welcome!

This multidisciplinary course allows students from a variety of backgrounds to work together to learn about and develop assistive technology for historical sites and museums. Students will work in teams to develop prototypes for individuals with diverse motor, cognitive, sensory, and behavior-emotional abilities. 

This course gives students the opportunity to develop and assess assistive technologies in an informal education context. This course is designed for students with special interest in assistive technology, informal education, museum studies, and developing prototypes through fabrication and development. 

During the Spring 2021 semester this class will be offered online and students will work remotely within their groups.

The ability Project has been teaching courses related to museum accessibility since 2017. A full list of all student projects is available on the Ability Project Website.
