Assistive Technology Club

Our mission is to make the world more accessible to everyone by building connections within our community and fostering collaborative efforts to create inclusive technology. Through AT@MIT, we introduce students to the fun (and challenging) design space of assistive technology while building connections between community members, engineers, and designers. We hope to inspire participants to pursue projects in the AT space in the future.

MIT Assistive Technology (AT) Club introduces students to the fun (and challenging) design space of assistive technology. Small teams of students design and engineer solutions directly with disabled users, whom we call codesigners. Throughout the year, we guide teams through a process of ideation, design, prototyping, and iteration. By the end of the year, they create a technology or device that helps enhance their codesigner’s abilities. All majors and experience levels are welcome as we hope students learn from each other and the codesigners.

This year, Assistive Technology (AT) Club is working on 6 projects spanning topics such as:

Robotics
Mobility
Braces and prosthetics
Wheelchair improvements
Blind assistance

Through AT, we hope that participants are inspired to pursue projects in the AT space in the future! Our progress and showcase projects will be posted on our instagram and website, so please check us out!
