ABSTRACT:

Can we bring fun, joy, and connection with friends through the use of an accessibility tool to fight discrimination and stigmas? When people typically see an accessibility device they may back off due to stigmas, worry or fear.  I am exploring whether a connection or sense of belonging mitigates the negative effect of discrimination. In order to do this, I am hoping to create a child-friendly accessibility device. For this project, I am hoping to upgrade the long white cane designs with modern pop culture references and sci-fi fantasy designs. I am a blind student and my favorite fandoms are Harry Potter & Star Wars. Therefore, for my first two designs, I am intending to use the Sword of Godric Gryffindor & a  Lightsaber. After perfecting the manufacturing process I am hoping to expand my design range to include other famous swords and lightsaber options.
