Let’s Jump In: Swimming Pools and Spas
April 24, 2018 2:00 - 2:30 PM Eastern
This is the first in a series of three recreational facility webinars. Bill Botten from the US
Access Board will provide a thirty minute overview of the minimum scoping and technical
requirements for newly constructed and altered swimming pools required to comply with
the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design(link is external).

Mapping Accessibility
May 15, 2018 12:30pm to 1:00pm
Google Maps, Waze, and Yelp have transformed the way people travel and access
information about the physical world. While these systems contain terabytes of data
about roads and points of interest (POIs), their information about physical
accessibility is commensurately poor. A team from the University of Maryland and the
University of Washington is exploring an approach called Project Sidewalk where
volunteer users *virtually* walk through cities in Google Street View to label and
assess sidewalk accessibility--a bit like a first-person video game.
Presenter: Jon Froehlich is an Associate Professor in the Paul G. Allen School of
Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Washington.
