Accessibility Case Competition
Make a difference on campus!
Join our Case Competition to come up with innovative solutions to make our campus more accessible!
About the Competition
Our competition has 2 streams: structural and policy. The structural stream is focused on developing physical or technological solutions to improve accessibility on campus. The policy stream is for policy initiatives. Participants may sign up in teams of up to 5 people. If you are not in a team, we can put you in a group. Winners of the structural and policy stream will each win $1000. Second place will receive $500. Third place will receive $150.
Winner will also have the opportunity to pitch their ideas to upper administration on campus and possibly see their ideas implemented on campus. Winners of the structural team who wish to patent their idea will also receive assistance from CIPEC.
Judges:
Allison Weiner Heinemann - Professor of Disability Studies at Cornell University
Andrea Haenlin-Mott - Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Coordinator at Cornell University
