All Carleton undergraduate students are invited to submit their designs to the IDea (Innovative Designs for Accessibility) competition. The deadline for ideas is April 14, 2013. There is $3,000 in prizes up for grabs!
The IDea student competition aims to engage the creative minds of Ontario’s university undergraduate students. The goal is for students to develop innovative, cost-effective and practical solutions to accessibility-related issues in their communities.
IDeA is inspired by the goal of the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) to make Ontario accessible to people with disabilities by 2025.
Institutions will select their top two submissions in each of the five categories, which have been chosen based on five barriers to accessibility as identified by the AODA.
All you have to do is come up with an idea!
The competition is hosted by the Council of Ontario Universities (COU).
