Get excited for our Tetra Assistive Devices Conference at TMU. This will be a full-day conference opening with Keynote Speaker Dr. Jose Zariffa, followed by a workshop, presentations by industry professionals working on assistive devices, and our annual case competition.
The case competition will focus on solving a real-life accessibility issue. Teams of 3-4 students will be given the case a week before the conference. At the end of the conference, they will get a chance to present their solution to a panel of 3 judges with diverse experience in the assistive devices industry. More information will be given to registered teams closer to the event date. There will be BIG prizes for first and second-place winners!
Everyone who attends the conference will receive a free 1-year SOLIDWORKS membership! Breakfast and lunch will also be provided to all attendees.
