One week left to apply for MassChallenge 2013!
|
There's only one week left to register for this year's MassChallenge and a chance to win the Perkins Assistive Technology Prize. The Perkins Assistive Technology Prize provides $25,000 in grants to entrepreneurs around the world whose products or services focus on improving opportunities and quality of life for people with disabilities. It's part of MassChallenge 2013 and aims to promote Perkins' mission to empower individuals with disabilities to reach their personal potential.
Last year's two award recipients included Plen-Optika, a company that has created a low-cost handheld device that prescribes glasses with a click of a button, vastly increasing the number of people who can be served by optometrists, and G.R.I.T., whose novel wheelchair design is made from affordable bicycle parts and offers people with disabilities unparalleled mobility on rough terrain.
