We invite our community, industry, and campus partners to submit events for the CREATE calendar. Appropriate events submitted to our calendar may also be shared with campus partners or in our newsletters.
Please use the below form to request that we share an event to our calendar. You are responsible for providing accurate information.
Important notes for event submissions
All events must have an email address for an accessibility contact who can answer questions and provide accommodations.
Images must not be the only source of any pertinent information. Logos and speaker photos are great. Flyers may not be readable on our calendar and are not accessible for our site users.
Alt-text is required for images. Please provide alt-text in the Editor Notes field.
Event title: Keep it short and lead with what is happening at the event. Instead of leading with “17th Annual Conference for…”, start with “Teaching Accessibly…”
Off-campus locations: Include venue name, address, and map link in the Editor Notes field.
Target audience: Very helpful! Include who you’re hoping will attend and note if the event is best for a specific audience, such as faculty, undergraduate students, caregivers, etc.
Event description: No need to repeat date, time, location or information from previous fields. Keep it short (2-3 paragraphs) and stick to essential information. Avoid including information that may change. Provide a link to your web page or registration form, so we are not publicizing outdated information. This event calendar, provided as a service by CREATE, includes accessibility-related events and events relevant to our community.
September 10, 2024 We are excited to announce that CREATE has been awarded a five-year, $4.6 million grant to advance crucial research on artificial intelligence (AI) and generative artificial intelligence (GAI). Research and development projects will explore questions about recent developments in AI and GAI: What risks do they pose for people with disabilities? And…
The deployment was partially funded by a CREATE Student Minigrant. Involving people with the lived experience of disability is a core aspect of CREATE-funded research.

RERC Page design notes
Consistent differentiation
I’ve enlisted one of the UW’s accent colors to differentiate the RERC pages from other CREATE pages. For the banner that shows at the top of each RERC page, I did some rudimentary re-coloring of the CREATE logo. It’s garish, but it does stand out. I imagine replacing it with an image from accessibility research and picking a new accent color from the image.
Page layout
Right column that appears on most of the rest of the CREATE site was removed, including navigation and CREATE contact info, newsfeed, etc.
Cards to highlight projects
The cards don’t have to have an image.
They can be formatted differently (but consistently) with purple, gold, or white backgrounds.
They can be in columns of 2 or a single column like the About CREATE page.
Newsfeeds
We can have discrete newsfeeds for each project and for all of the RERC, separate from the CREATE newsfeed.
News items can be shared between the RERC and the rest of CREATE.

Physical computing, the combination of consumer-grade fabrication and computing technology, enables participation for people with disabilities in multiple home and community contexts. Now widely available, physical computing technology includes 3D-modeling software and machines such as laser cutters, 3D-printers, knitting machines and programmable embroidery machines. These technologies are already making a demonstrable and significant impact on community living and participation for people with disabilities in the form of 3D-printed tactile maps, customized tactile interactions on devices, specialized tools for creating assistive technology.
CREATE is the Center for Research and Education on Accessible Technology and Experiences. Our mission is to make technology accessible and to make the world accessible through technology. Our vision is a world where people with disabilities are full participants in shaping tomorrow’s world.
