SUMMARY:Workshop: Affordable Assistive Technology

At MMC\, we design affordable\, open-source assistive technology to meet a variety of end-user needs. In this hands-on session we will build an assistive switch and switch adapt an off-the-shelf toy. Switches and toys will be donated to people with disabilities in the community. \nIn partnership with the Dis/Usability speaker series\, the STREET Lab\, and the KMDI Lab we’ll learn how to make adaptive toys that are affordable\, and all of the toys made will be donated to kids who need them for their holiday presents. Learn how to solder\, put together 3D printed pieces\, and make a difference in someone’s life!
