Create Community-Driven Accessibility Solutions!
EPICS in IEEE is seeking proposals for service learning projects focused on access and abilities. These projects should bring together students, faculty, and IEEE professionals with community organizations to address technological needs through the design, building, testing, and deployment of local accessible solutions.
Project Focus Areas:
-
Accessibility issues
-
Adaptive services
-
Technology redesign for equal access
-
Assistive technology development
Projects should be completed within one year and must involve IEEE members. Partnerships with local IEEE sections, chapters, affinity groups, and student branches are encouraged.
The IEEE Robotics and Automation Society (RAS) is excited to partner with EPICS in IEEE on this upcoming call for proposals to support projects involving robotics and automation. If you are part of RAS, please select RAS in the partnership dropdown in the application.
Funding and Support:
Selected projects will receive up to $10,000 USD, mentorship, and resources.
The EPICS in IEEE committee will also accept projects within our other pillars [Education and Outreach, Environmental and Human Services].
