The Supplyframe DesignLab for the September Hackaday Los Angeles Meetup, focusing on Assistive Technologies.
From August 22 through October 3rd, the last round of the Hackaday Prize is celebrating engineers and designers that are helping others move better, see better and live better. We wanted to take that theme and build an event around it, and we’re proud to be co-hosting this event with ABILITY Magazine.
We’ll have two speakers following an introduction by the creator of ABILITY Magazine, Chet Cooper.
ABILITY Magazine profiles celebrities and features articles on the most recent innovations in assistive technology, disability and human potential. Chet is also the founder of abilityJOBS.com the first career site helping hundreds of thousands of job seekers with disabilities connect with employers and the co-founder of ABILITYCorps.org which is creating a world of inclusion and awareness for people with disabilities, through media, art, music and volunteerism.
Raul Pizarro is a painter with multiple sclerosis. Tony and his team of engineers and makers have built devices to help Raul regain his ability to paint.
RJ Cooper is a pioneer in the field of Assistive Technology, creating, adapting, and assessing tech for even the most challenged persons. Starting in 1983, he continues to create unique and needed tech, even for individual requests.
As with any Hackaday meetup please feel free to bring the projects your working on! If you have a topic or project you’d like to speak about for two minutes, or are looking for project collaborators and want to let the community know, get in touch with Dan Hienzsch, or just bring something to show off after the talks!
Hang out and chat with some of the Supplyframe team over light refreshments and snacks. Please RSVP here so we know how many to expect.
