Programs
Aside from our ongoing open source software development efforts, one of our primary goals is to create a variety innovative programs that involve all of our communities. Currently, we organize two regular programs aimed at university students and young professionals.
The Semester Project - Spring 2008 Pilot
The Semester Project is an opportunity for university students and working professionals to get involved in open source software development for the persons with disabilities over the course of a semester. The pilot program for the Semester Project begins in Spring of 2008 at the University of Southern California! Selected participants will help to shape this program for semesters to come. Join us for a chance to work with innovative hardware and software, and to make a positive difference in someone's life!
SS12: Code for a Cause
SS12: Code for a Cause is an annual Code-A-Thon Challenge that last occured at the University of Southern California on November 17th and 18th, 2007. This event was an opportunity for over 30 undergraduate and graduate software developers to make a profound difference by developing innovative, empowering software projects for persons with disabilities and win prizes for their work. The purpose of SS12 is to increase awareness of issues in accessible computing and be educational and fun for all participants. We plan to continue SS12 on an annual basis.
