Description of the initiative

As part of the 2023 Hackaday Prize outreach, DesignLab will sponsor and facilitate a one week design and engineering sprint with students of Politecnico di Milano - School of Design that will culminate in open source hardware solutions for the design challenge.
Cash awards given to top student submissions.
Design Challenge: Develop a real world open source hardware solution in partnership with Rancho Los Amigos Rehabilitation Center; an adaptive device to enable individuals with tenodesis to have greater independence.

User Profile will be defined in the first day of the hackathon with his/her challenges in gaining a full quality of life and will be cìcommunicated and relased one week before the starting of the PIA on its site.

All projects must be documented on Hackaday.io (each participating student team must create an account and thoroughly document all project development on the project page)
-min. Complete 1 working prototype
