The student-led AT fair making a real difference.

Thank you for helping make ATConnect 2026 a success! This year, our student-led assistive technology fair brought together 140+ participants and helped raise $2.5k+ to support our mission.

ATConnect connected students, educators, families, sponsors, and community members through assistive technology demos, student-led projects, networking, and hands-on activities. We were honored to host everyone who attended, volunteered, presented, sponsored, or supported the event.
