D4AT

Alumni of the 2021 summer course started a nationwide set of assistive technology clubs called D4AT in the 2021-2022 academic year, with four active chapters, as well as support from additional schools.

• The D4AT curriculum, a public, no-signup fork of the BWSI AT pre-course

• D4AT also put together a virtual Maker Faire with 10 different project presentations by students on their co-design work with people in their communities with disabilities
