Easter Seals and Google SketchUp have teamed up to launch this first-of-its-kind online competition. The Easter Seals’ Sketch-A-Space competition offers people with autism – and those interested in learning more about autism or who have someone in their life that lives with autism – an opportunity to design their ideal, dream space using Google SketchUp’s free 3-D modeling software.
Design the room or space of your dreams – for a chance to win $2,000 to make that dream space come true. Join Sketch-A-Space in helping to make spaces more accessible to people living with autism!
