Cybathlon @school – Overcoming Obstacles in the Course with Assistance Systems
Workshop in English
In this workshop, you will experience how assistive systems support people with physical disabilities in their everyday lives. Assistive systems help break down barriers and strengthen inclusivity in the world. You will gain extraordinary and inspiring insights into the topics of inclusion and technology.
By walking with a prosthetic leg, using a wheelchair, navigating a blind obstacle course, or handling objects with a prosthetic arm, you will have entirely new movement experiences. In this workshop, you will not only be sensitized to the physical barriers faced by people with disabilities, but you will also actively engage with them.
The workshop is facilitated by ambassadors (individuals with physical disabilities) who provide tips and tricks to help you overcome seemingly simple obstacles.
