THRIVE!

06 December - 12 December, 2022

Open to everyone–students, professionals, retirees, and those unable to work due to disability– we'll build innovative assistive technology for those with severe disabilities.

We honor famed robotics scientist Dr. Peter Scott-Morgan, who was diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease or MND) in 2017 and sadly passed in June 2022. Hailed as “the world’s first human cyborg,” Peter advocated for bold reinventions of the future.
