The LaSSoftE lab involves undergraduate students in developing software for socially-aware causes. Our current projects are:
- Software development for Treasure Box Braille, a hardware device that teaches kids to read Braille (in collaboration with the PiET lab): https://github.com/PiETLab
- Software development for TalkBox, a hardware device that allows non-verbal individuals to communicate (in collaboration with the PiET lab): Under initial development.
If you are an undergraduate student that is interested in developing software for social causes, and would like to be involved with these projects, please feel free to contact us.
