School of Industrial Design undergraduate students Amanda Foster, Sophia Linebaugh and Regan O'Connell recently were awarded the grand prize at the inaugural Forge Atlanta! healthcare hackathon. Chatterbox is their approach to closing the word gap and bring early word development to young children. Their idea is to print teachable stories and topics to talk about on diapers. For a complete story from the Atlanta Business Chronicle and slide show from the event, http://bit.ly/1tWaiP3.
