Makers Making Change

You can catch our team's presentations from ConnecTra's Abilities Expo earlier this month on YouTube! Assistive Technology Trainer Jody Dickerson presented on free- and low-cost mainstream technologies that can be used as assistive technology, Employer Outreach Developer Nate Toevs presented on WorkBC Assistive Technology Services, while Makers Making Change's Kris Stirling presented on open-source assistive technology that can be made by volunteers.

We made several exciting updates to our website!

1️⃣ Refreshed the 'how it works' guides for requesting a device, being a volunteer maker, design challenges, and many more.

2️⃣ Maker Wanted: Filter device requests by province/state (Canada and US only) and country

3️⃣ Maker Wanted: Filter device requests by skills required

Ever wanted to learn how to switch-adapt a toy? Join us for our virtual Summer Series on Toy Hacking 101.

In Part Three, MMC staff will guide participants who want to create and share their own adapted toy instructions. We'll walk you through documentation templates and key information to include.
