# Overview
The goal of your final project is to build an accessibility technology or make an existing technology more accessible.
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.
{% details Final Project Examples %}
Some ideas could be to make something that is useful, or fun, more accessible to people with disabilities. Examples:
- A screen-reader accessible COVID visualization
- A simple educational game that can be used with switch input
- A CAPTCHA interface that can be used with an on screen keyboard for someone who uses switch input
- Make an interface to generate laser-cuttable SVGs that fit a class of real-world objects and make them more accessible
- Create a simple VR environment that is supports magnification and verbal description for low vision and screen reader users
To give you some more ideas, here are some examples from last Winter's PMP version of this class

## Learning Goals / Competencies
This homework may contribute to
You will need to define this homework's learning goals, but the following are expectations even if you've already reached competency.
- Understanding how to apply a disability justice framing
- Image description
- Image description
- Finding first person accounts
- Your participation grade, as a percentage of completeness (all required parts are present)
## Length & Difficulty
We do not have details on how long this single piece of the final project usually takes students. However, overall students report a median of 7.5 hours per week plus meetings during the four weeks of the project. Some things students commented on regarding the project include:
- "I appreciate the open-endedness of this project. It gives a good opportunity to apply what we have learned, combined with the knowledge we have brought to this course."
- "I really enjoyed working with [disabled mentor]"
- "I like how open ended the project is, and it made for a really interesting last session with a wide variety of presentations."
- "Learned a lot through the project"

*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). However if you want to include data from interviewing, or testing with, people with disabilities, that is permissible. That said, your project should not unduly burden the disability community. Some projects may allow for direct collaboration with or feedback from people with disabilities, others may not. Please reach out to us for guidance on this if you intend to work with disabled participants.
## 1. Develop an Argument for The Idea
## 1. Develop an Argument for the idea
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 first person accounts if at all possible. 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.
