Students design space for "differently able" employees

School of Architecture

At the 2023 Diversity Hackathon, student teams from various Texas A&M colleges and schools created potential office design solutions for neurodivergent — “differently able” — employees, whose possible strengths include better memory, an ability to mentally picture 3D objects easily, or more, but who may struggle in a traditional workplace. During the hackathon, students were divided into teams of 4 to 6 students.
