CREATE Community Day is an annual half-day forum for discussing the concerns about and approaches to sustainable accessibility research and a showcase of research led by CREATE and HuskyADAPT. Student researchers highlight their work and showcase a variety of individual and team projects.
Thank you to all who attended CREATE’s 2025 Community Day in May and to our community partners and panel members for lively, informative conversations!
Stay tuned to this page and subscribe to the CREATE mailing list for more news from the event and about accessibility research.
Research Showcase co-sponsored with HuskyADAPT
After panel discussions, CREATE students and postdocs and the design teams of HuskyADAPT presented their work on accessible technology. Attendees browsed the projects, learned more from the researchers, and tried out some new technologies. The projects covered a wide range of research. One project models accessibility while considering barriers, accessibility tools, and context. Another shared a series of prototypes (from cardboard to “erector set-style” metal pieces and a rack-and-pinion gears) for robotic device holders.
