The TechSAge Design Competition 2017 seeks to inspire talented students to
develop innovative technology-enabled design solutions for the aging
population, especially considering the varied abilities and disabilities of
older adults. Enter individually or as a team to the competition with a
unique submission under one of the following categories:

of $500 (total of $1000).

Contestants must enter designed TECHNOLOGY solutions. Designed technology
solutions may be products and/or systems including but not limited to
ambient technologies, wearable devices, mobile applications, assistive
robots—in the broad areas of design and computation, including industrial
design, interaction design, graphic design, human-computer interaction,
human factors, software engineering, and artificial intelligence, to

A talented group of experts on product design, universal design, technology
design, human-computer interaction, robotics, design research methods, and
aging, to mention a few, will evaluate the submissions.

The competition is organized by the TechSAge Research Engineering
