About this Project
Know Your Rights! is an app that is designed to help people know your rights anywhere, anytime.
Our students came up with this idea after considering the ongoing problems they see in society for people of color and people with disabilities. They thought if people had access to know their rights in any situation, it might help them become a stronger self-advocate and upstander for those around them.
Know Your Rights! uses location services to identify possible situations you are in and gives you your legal rights for that scenario. For example, if you are at the airport, shopping in Target, or at a baseball game, Know Your Rights! will automatically give you your list of rights for that situation.
Additionally, it has a search feature where you can search for specific rights in a situation. For example, if you are interviewing for a job and have a disability you might search "workers rights for people with disabilities" and Know Your Rights! will explain all the rights you have.

What the Judges are Saying
I believe this app can be very helpful to everyone! Knowing your rights is very important and giving the public easy access to that information is valuable. It encourages people to stand up for themselves and others to advocate for change for any minority group anywhere and everywhere. Be a voice for yourself and those who can't!
Love this idea!
