SUMMARY:Hacking For The Holidays: Toy Adapting with Worlds UNBound Go ENG Girl
DESCRIPTION:Makers Making Change is excited to be a part of Worlds UNBound Go ENG Girl event! \nRegistration is required. \nGo ENG Girl invites girls in grades 7-12 to dive into the exciting world of engineering with a day packed full of creative\, hands-on activities and cool exhibits. Meet and learn from inspiring female-identifying engineers\, students\, and professors who are eager to share their journeys\, passions\, and triumphs in engineering! \nThis event is free for all participants and includes food\, swag and more! \nThis year Go ENG Girl is partnering with Makers Making Change\, a Neil Squire Program\, for the Hacking for the Holidays initiative. \nIn this workshop\, participants will be led in adapting toys for use with an assistive switch. For 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. \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 centred design and community involvement.
