Welcome to UW-MANIAC!

What is UW-MANIAC? UW-MANIAC (Madison Area Network for Innovation & Collaboration) represents a network of continued collaborative learning and growth. This unique partnership includes a diverse group of UW-Madison departments and academic perspectives, as well as those from the private and non-profit sector. We host several events a year around a wide variety of topics, including the “Innovation and Collaboration Learning Café Series," a creative learning space that teaches creativity tools in an applied manner, a "Breakfast Series" in which members share inspiring ideas and creative approaches to work, and other opportunities to meet and share ideas, both through face-to-face conversation and virtual dialogue. Feel free to utilize this online community to share reflections, ask questions, incubate an idea, and re-connect with those friendly faces from the other events.

Innovative Approach to Software for Persons with Disabilities

Hi MANIACS:

There's an interesting article in today's NY Times:
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/18/business/smallbusiness/18edge.html?em

It focuses on some exciting new software recently developed for persons with disabilities. These outcomes are great, and the process by which they came to be is quite innovative: An intense, weekend-long competition sponsored by a non-profit group with student programmer teams.

Check it out...
Harry
