Hackcessible

📯We're delighted that disabled musician Chris Griffiths's request to create an adapted French horn stand was accepted as a challenge by @hackcessible21, and the solution presented by the team of students at @EngineeringNCL was crowned the winner! bit.ly/3HWTlzX

A team of students from the Dyson Institute worked with @ccquad, a quadruple amputee, to create a solution that would allow her to attach a lead to her dog, Duke, so she can take him for walks without assistance.

Students from @SheffUniEng and @SwanseaUni worked with Pauline and Tony to design a solution for nerve damage rehab that exercises the fingers safely by mirroring the movement of the healthy hand, thus combining the benefits of physio and mirror therapy. youtu.be/fcPu10Ae7XE

#Hackcessible21 was an amazing experience, working with students in the UK and the US and disabled challengers from across the UK. The team needed a good break over Christmas but we're back to give you the lowdown on all the exciting things that happened in this year's makeathon!

#Hackcessible21 was a challenging make-a-thon to organise this year due to constraints imposed by the pandemic. However, using remote collaboration and communication tools these brilliant user-led teams from all across the UK and the US did not disappoint…lnkd.in/dqhDWUET

After being injured during the conflict in Syria and fleeing to Jordan, Nasser fell into depression Almost ten years later, he’s now trying to inspire hope among other refugees with disabilities as one of our community volunteers

I'm VERY proud to be a judge for @hackcessible21 alongside @paulhewtweet & @Elaine_Gosling. I'll be reading the submissions carefully this weekend but first impressions are excellent! Check out the real, personal challenges the teams have been solving at hackcessible.org/challenges-202…

Great to have you on the panel @DangerOT!

Creating a mock-up to support conceptualising how a number of alternative prototypes might work in context is always helpful. #Hackcessible 2021
