Design Competition

The dis(ABLED) BEAUTY design competition is aimed at FAMD students attending Central Michigan University. The purpose of this competition is to celebrate the evolution of beauty, disability and ability of highly designed assistive devices, adaptive devices and apparel. Each student will be presented with a prosthesis device where they are then given the opportunity to decorate and/or add their own designs to the devices. Graduate and Undergraduate FMD students are encouraged to participate. However, undergraduate students are presented with the opportunity to work in groups of two, where graduate students must work on their own.
