Calling all Students: Autism Connects Challenge
Posted in: Uncategorized
Calling all Students! Interested in communication solutions? Want to apply design-thinking to better utilize technologies? Ever hoped to have Yves Behar (fuseproject), Lisa Strausfeld (Pentagram), Richard Seymour (Seymourpowell) or our own Allan Chochinov (Core77) look at your work?
The “Autism Connects” technology and design competition challenges students to help individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) to better connect with the world around them, and allow individuals who do not have ASD to better understand and connect with those who do. Even NFL Hall-of-Famer Dan Marino is getting into the cause! Help create real-world solutions for individuals with ASD and win $5000 in this international student competition! In addition, Autism Speaks will award creators (or one representative in the case of a team entry) of the top three designs a $1,000 stipend and registration fees to attend the 2011 International Meeting for Autism Research, to be held May 12 to 14, 2011 in San Diego, CA, where they will be invited to present their design concept.
