The WCC announces its first engagement grant program, open to faculty, students, and research scientists of Georgia Tech. Grants can be used to support the development of new hardware or new applications; fund the design and evaluation of new wearable technologies; or create new opportunities for internal or external collaboration, such as through workshops or speaker series.  Our hope is that the engagement grant will help inspire a sense of collaboration, and will help aid in the creations of projects showcasing wearable technology’s potential.

Applications are due on October 24th, 2014, and the WCC will announce the winner or winners of the 2014 WCC engagement grant at the inaugural Wearable Computing Center Forum on November 11, 2014. More information about awards, eligibility, and the application process can be found on the WCC website.
