Bay Area Makeathon for Assistive Technology
Friday through Sunday, September 11th - 13th

TOM, UCP of the North Bay, and Google.org are proud to host the Bay Area
Makeathon focused on assistive technology and the needs of people with
disabilities.

During the 72 hour makeathon we will develop hardware and software product
prototypes designed to meet needs that people with disabilities identify are
important to them. By bringing together people who understand the needs
('need-knowers') alongside engineers, designers, developers and makers, and
providing a space for innovation and prototyping, we will create solutions,
make new connections and share unique experiences. Join a group of talented
individuals for 3 amazing days to experience how tinkering and technology can
impact lives.

At the end of 72 hours the teams will present their projects to a panel of
judges. The judges will match teams with the most promising prototypes to
prizes that will enable them to take their next step toward impact.
