Innovation In Action

Whether it's a handicap-accessible playground, an interactive science exhibit at a museum, or a communications device for the hearing-impaired, FalconWorks makes it happen.

FalconWorks is a nonprofit "innovation hub", bringing together the necessary resources to design and build technology-based solutions for disabled individuals and our community. We focus our efforts on projects that require significant creativity, innovation, and design work and help improve the lives of many people in our community.

FalconWorks coordinates with the U.S. Air Force Academy's academic departments to establish integrated teams for each project. Operating under the direction of the Academy's world-class faculty, these teams will consist of cadets who earn credit as part of their senior capstone courses. Projects will generally follow the academic year timeline with final product deliveries in May of each year.

To finance these projects, FalconWorks arranges financial sponsors with the intent of making the end product completely free to clients.The only "cost" we ask of our clients to bear is spending time with FalconWorks and the project teams to ensure we deliver what you need. Members of your organization may be asked to provide information, attend design reviews, and provide feedback for student evaluations.
