Welcome to spending the next two and a half days getting to know folks from across the state who, like you, want to know more about //**assistive technology**//. To kick-off the 4th **annual summer institute**, __all registrants are invited to participate in the "Design on a Dime, AT Challenge". Don't worry.... you won't be alone. Your first task is to check out the picture symbol on your name tag and locate three other participants with matching pictures. This will be your AT Survival School Team! Your second task is to get to know one another a bit because as a team, you'll search for the items on your scavenger hunt list. At the end of the institute (Friday, @ time) the team that collects the most items from their list will be rewarded with individual prizes,! something A.T.-licious! We promise to make this worth your while!
