 # Overview 
 
-The goal of your final project is to build an accessibility technology or make an existing technology more accessible. In this phase of the final project, you will propose a specific project idea that you come up with. The final project is a *group assignment* and requires forming groups of 2-4 people *who can all attend the same section*. Proposals may be submitted individually  if you are not part of a group yet.

 Your idea should offer develop technology that will help to advance the needs of people with disabilities. However, we want to avoid creating [Disability Dongles](https://blog.castac.org/2022/04/disability-dongle/). To avoid this, we do two important things
-1. You should inform your project from a first person account.  If you cannot find first person commentary on the topic, please reach out to the course staff for help. We may tell you not to worry about it, or point you at resources such as research papers that have interviews of people with disabilities in them.

We may tell you not to worry about it, or point you at resources such as research papers that have interviews of people with disabilities in them. 
 2. You should embody *Positive Disability Principles:* We understand that you cannot necessarily address all of the positive disability principles that we discuss in class, but at the very least you should be able to argue for principles 1 and 4: (1) It is not ableist (4) It furthers disabled agency and control. Ideally, you will also be able to address at least one more principle of the five [specified in the competency](index.html#4-application-of-positive-disability-principals-to-research). 
 
 *Note on disability involvement in this project:* It is not feasible to do a full iterative design cycle in this project (and not necessarily an ethical use of the time of people with disabilities).  Please reach out to us for permission if you intend to work with disabled participants. Otherwise we will expect you to base your project on first person accounts you find online.

+## Group Formation
+
+The final project is a *group assignment* and requires forming groups of 2-4 people *who can all attend the same section*. (You don't necessarily need to be registered for the same section, but you must all be able to attend the same one.)

+Groups must be finalized by Friday, 11/8. If you already know who you are working with, you can submit your proposal as a group, but proposals may be submitted individually if you are not part of a group yet.

+To help with group formation, [post a summary of your idea on Ed]({{site.discussion}}/5583557); you'll have opportunities to talk with other students in your section and browse their idea summaries so that you can find people who are interested in similar topics.
