In April of 2023, Natalie attended the first ever build event by Neil Squire’s Makers Making Change program in Newfoundland and Labrador with her older sister. Now a Grade 12 student, she’s since become a dedicated volunteer and a champion of the program in her province.
Thank you to everyone who came out and helped us hack over 400 devices — 243 toys and 163 switches — for kids with disabilities at our first annual Holiday Hackathon on November 22nd!
Neil Squire’s Makers Making Change program and Youth Central have partnered up to teach youth STEM based skills and adapt toys for kids with disabilities as part of the Hacking for the Holidays campaign.
Recently, students from the District scolaire francophone Sud (DSFS) in New Brunswick had the chance to witness the impact of their hard work firsthand during a visit to donate devices to the Stan Cassidy Centre for Rehabilitation.
