CU Engineering/Imagine! Collaboration Continues

Once again, students in a University of Colorado Engineering class taught by Professor Melinda Picket-May are collaborating with Imagine! to provide assistive technology for individuals we serve. We’ve been doing this for more than five years. Each semester, students form small groups and select projects that have been identified by Imagine! staff members as something that will meet the needs of a specific individual served by Imagine!. The collaboration has truly been “win-win.” The students get real, hands-on experience on a unique and challenging engineering task, and people served by Imagine! get a piece of adaptive equipment designed specifically for their needs. To start this year’s projects off right, Imagine!’s PR Director Fred Hobbs presented to the students today to give a historical perspective on services for individuals with I/DD and why the projects are so vital.
