The objective of this project is to re-design hair/beauty care spaces/tools to better accommodate individuals with physical limitations either as clients or service providers. In addition, stylists without disabilities often develop health conditions due to some aspects of their workplace. Teams will have creative freedom to explore the design space and target design solutions that address one or more problems.

Since its inception, the Learning Factory has completed more than 1,800 projects for more than 500 different sponsors, and nearly 9,000 engineering students at Penn State University Park participated in such a project.
