Accessible Snowboard Inventors
While in college, Matt Capozzi and Nathan Connolly
designed a snowboard that works for people who can’t
use their legs.
Capozzi and Connolly, both avid snowboarders, met
at Hampshire College in Massachusetts. In 1996 they
decided they wanted to help increase access to the
sport they loved. Guided by Professor Colin Twitchell
of Hampshire’s Lemelson Assistive Technology
Development Center, Capozzi and Connlly together
designed a snowboard for people with disabilities.
“Snowboarding is an amazing sport that no one
had really thought of introducing to disabled people.”--Matt
Capozzi
