SUMMARY:OpenRoad Build Event
DESCRIPTION:Every child deserves to play. But 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. \nThrough OpenRoad’s support\, buildathon events allow us to make make assistive switches and adapt toys for families and therapists across Canada at no cost. \nEvent: \nThis event will give OpenRoad Group members and community volunteers the opportunity to walk through a toy adaption with Makers Making Change staff. Members will be given the opportunity to solder and test out their adaptive device. Devices will then be donated to members in the community. \nWho is Makers Making Change: \nMakers Making Change is an online platform providing a disruptively low-cost alternative to commercially available assistive technologies. With a wide range of devices available in the assistive devices library\, there are many options for people to request from and work with a volunteer maker who can build it for them. \nAbout OpenRoad \nOpenRoad Auto Group is one of Canada’s fastest-growing automotive retail groups\, celebrating their 25th anniversary as OpenRoad this year. Proudly co-hosting this Buildathon is OpenRoad Volkswagen\, one of 25 OpenRoad locations in BC. OpenRoad Volkswagen has been a proud member of the Burnaby community since 2016\, offering a more relaxed and flexible Volkswagen shopping and ownership experience. As an organization\, OpenRoad remains committed to working with partners like Neil Squire Society and the Makers Making Change program to give back to the community.
