SUMMARY:Hacking For The Holidays: Toy Adapting with Halifax Central Library
DESCRIPTION:Makers Making Change is excited to have this second exciting event with Halifax Central Library! \nRegistration is required and opens November 17th 2024 at 12pm. \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.
