SUMMARY:Hacking For The Holidays: National Holiday Wrap Up with Halifax Central Library
DESCRIPTION:We are once again thrilled to be partnering with the Halifax Central Library to host a toy adapting workshop for our Hacking for the Holidays campaign. \nRegistration opens November 9th at 12:00pm. \nFor many kids with disabilities\, toys can be hard to use independently\, and commercially adapted versions can run upwards of $300. However\, with a little bit of tinkering\, we can switch-adapt toys and make them accessible for a fraction of the cost. In this workshop\, participants will be lead in adapting toys for use with an assistive switch. \nNeil Squire’s Makers Making Change staff and volunteers are experts at hacking battery operated toys\, taking them apart\, and adding in the switch jacks. Skills learned during this workshop include soldering and assembly\, as well as an introduction to assistive technology\, person centered design and community involvement. \nAll are welcome. No experience is necessary.
