School Programs
At Bionic, students don’t just learn about disability — they rethink the world around them.
Through adaptive sport, storytelling, and collaborative design challenges, students consider media narratives, public spaces, and how different bodies reveal different solutions.
101 schools and universities. Nine states and Washington, DC. One growing Bionic community.
