Major Award Nomination for 'How Was School Today...?' Project


03 December 2010

Digital Economy Programme logoA groundbreaking computing project to help profoundly disabled children communicate more effectively, developed by researchers at the Universities of Dundee and Aberdeen, has been nominated for a major industry award.

The 'How was School today...?' software uses a combination of technologies to enable children with disabilities such as cerebral palsy and learning difficulties to have conversations in a faster, more interactive way.

In the latest in a series of accolades for the project, it has been nominated in the 'Community Project of the Year' category of the BCS UK IT Industry Awards 2010. The Awards are a platform for the entire computing and IT industry to celebrate best practice, innovation and excellence across a number of fields.
