Assistive Home Technology

Assistive Home Technology is a free, self-paced learning path in Engineering & Robotics, written at General Public / 9th Grade reading level. Across 15 structured stations, you will work through the core ideas step by step, each with a short quiz to check your understanding. By the end you will be able to identify core purposes behind assistive living tools; trace development of basic home support tools; analyze diverse requirements for home support systems.
