Building things for people who need them the most is the noblest pursuit. The Assistive Tech challenge calls for projects that help people with disabilities to learn, work, move around, and simply live their lives to the fullest. So get out there, identify a real assistive need, and take a swing at solving it. Small hacks or large projects, we want to see how you can make peoples' lives better.

Hi @Ildaron - Your project has been submitted to Re-engineering Education, Assistive Tech, and Op Amp Challenge. Good luck competing for the Prize!

I've built a Sat Nav and Telemetry Console for Scuba Diving, Snorkelling and Kayaking which in the next two weeks, hopefully before the Assistive Tech category end date, will have audio/haptic guidance/directions added so that partially sighted / blind people can enjoy water-borne activities. They would still have a companion with them, but importantly they would not need to be physically guided, for example by someone holding their hand. I hope I can empower people challenged with physical disabilities with the wonderful sensation of being weightless underwater in a safe and controlled environment, for example in swimming pool or at a dive training lake - even in calm seas!

Excited for this contest! As a disabled engineer, I know it's rare for us to be able to design our own assistive devices. It's really different (and rewarding) designing around my own access needs! I hope it can encourage others to invent and explore with our input. Here's the project :)

This is so inspiring. As a challenged person (MS, with ambulatory issues), it warms my heart knowing people care and are willing to help.
