    What problem would you like to solve?

    Lack of access and funding for assistive technologies.

    Why is it important to solve? Why is it relevant for the community?

    Assistive Technology is wide ranging and geared towards increasing independence and improving quality of life. There are various commercial options on the market but lack of knowledge about them or lack of funding sources or ability to navigate the procurement process can be barriers.

    What idea do you have to address the problem?

    Leverage local makerspaces, makers, and the tech sector to create open sourced and accessible AT.

    Who would that help?

    Users with disabilities across the lifespan.

    What NYC borough would benefit from your idea?

    Borough: Brooklyn
