Georgia Institute of Technology in collaboration with the WizKidz Science and Technology Centers recently presented a 2-week ARoPability workshop for the visually impaired. A grant was received from the National Science Foundation to fund the event. The intention of the workshop was to draw the attention of the students with disabilities to involve themselves in the fields of technology, engineering, science and mathematics. Over twenty high school and middle school students attended the ARoPability workshop. Professor Ayanna Howard of Georgia Tech stated that the goal of the workshop was to equip students with tools so that they can get involved and enter the fields of mathematics, engineering, technology and science.
