Design Challenges
Looking to flex your engineering and design skills, and develop an assistive device from scratch? Look no further with Design Challenges!
Volunteers collaborate directly with the person who submitted the Design Challenge to turn their idea into a functional solution. The process is completely self-directed, giving you the freedom to protype, iterate, and build at your own pace.

This is where the fun begins! Iterate, prototype, and build the device in this completely self-directed process. Use the chat function at the bottom of the challenge page to message one another.
