their activities, iRIDE is unique in the way itrecruits participants. The students consider the dynamics of their communities and discuss theissues their communities face, for instance, the lack of sidewalks, brainstorm solutions using theengineering design process and present the results to community stakeholders, including parentsand teachers. Similarly, in iRIDE, students utilize the issues their communities face and theirprior experiences to determine the scope of their Capstone Project, the hallmark of the SummerAcademy. The following sections offer detailed information about the iRIDE program, methodsfor evaluation, findings, and future implications.iRIDE Structure The goals of the iRIDE program are forstudents to apply math and

people with disabilities. The project startedin an HDT course and continued in a capstone project. This project started with the cycle of love,empathy, and ethics by investigating the needs of an inclusive preschool where loanerwheelchairs for younger children were not readily available. The teams used HDT to iteratethrough several prototypes of a transitional vehicle using adaptive assistive technology.The students contacted the school and met with the occupational therapist to conduct anenvironmental assessment. They researched human-machine interfaces and the ethics of thedevelopment and usage of this technology. Students and the teacher obtained InstitutionalReview Board approval for conducting research with human subjects. Through the
