Autism Initiative Announced at Maker Faire

Today, on the Center Stage at Maker Faire, Phil McKinney, CTO of HP’s Personal Systems Group, announced Hacking Autism, a social initiative for advancing and making accessible technologies to tackle the challenges that people with autism face every day. At the Faire, Phil will be encouraging software developers to join their team. This announcement ties in nicely with our new Health 2.0 Pavilion at the Faire and with O’Reilly’s growing interest in the health space.
