- Your project must include an implementation component. Your implementation should include an accessibility assessemnt.
- 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). However if you want to include data from interviewing, or testing with, people with disabilities, that is permissable.
One note: given the number of weeks available, be careful not to overcommit. You must figure out how to fit this all in a brief timeline. In particular, your final project will have four phases, and may be individual or a group project

On February 14, 2023, you will present a slide deck with up to six slides that describe your proposed project. The slides should contain:
- Promise: How the world will be better based on your project? What Disability Justice principal does this address.
- Obstacle: Why we don’t have this already?
- Solution: How you will achieve the promise? This will most likely be primarily technical
- Related work: It should also include a related work section with at least one first person account, existing technology, etc. Related work should as much as possible be informed by perspectives or your end users, people with disabilities.
- Timeline: Finally, it should include a timeline showing that this is feasible.
