The Assistive Tech Challenge is a pitch competition that seeks solutions to:
Alleviating barriers to employment;
Reducing the need for and/or easing the demands of direct support on care providers;
Developing social skills that better enable people with and without disabilities to interact and cultivate meaningful relationships; and
Improving access to the community through public infrastructure.
There are two divisions:
Open (community-based teams and students)
Professional (corporations formed with annual revenues not exceeding $250,000)
$15,000 will be awarded by The Arc Minnesota to the first and second place winners in each division to further advance their idea. First Place will receive $5,000. Second Place will receive $2,500. All first and second place teams will be eligible to participate in the Walleye Tank pitch competition in Rochester, MN on December 7, 2018.
