SUMMARY:LipSync Buildathon: NYC Resistor
DESCRIPTION:The LipSync enables a person that has no use of their hands to use a touchscreen device\, laptop or computer — it is a mouth operated joystick that allows a person to control an onscreen cursor with minimal head and neck movement. An open-source hardware project funded by Google\, it uses 3D printed parts\, an Arduino Micro board\, and other common parts that can be soldered to a circuit board and built in a day. \nA LipSync Buildathon is an event that train’s makers to build an open source assistive technology\, the LipSync. By the end of the session\, each maker will make a LipSync for a person in their community. \nTeams will be supplied with the tools\, components\, parts and instructions\, and will work together to assemble\, solder\, 3D print components\, transfer the code onto an Arduino board\, and mount the device to a wheelchair. They will be supported by the LipSync creators\, the Neil Squire Society\, and their new program\, Makers Making Change: connecting makers to people with disabilities to create open-source assistive technologies. \nFor more information about the event or to apply to receive a LipSync please contact: Chad Leaman\, chadl@neilsquire.ca \n  \n

SUMMARY:Light Touch Switch Build at Mount Royal University
DESCRIPTION:Our Makers Making Change (new window) initiative is collaborating with Mount Royal University Maker Studio (new window) to host a Switch Buildathon. The Maker Studio is a creative space for students\, faculty\, staff and community users to explore ideas and concepts. Come see how you can use your maker skills to benefit the community. This event is open to anyone who wants to participate. \nLearn to Build A Light Touch Switch\nAt this workshop\, you will learn to build a low cost 3D printable accessibility switch design (new window) by Kevin Cross (new window)\, a maker in our online network. The switch is small (50 mm L x 18 mm W x 15 mm H) and uses a standard 3.5 mm cable. It is easy to press for those who find it challenging to press down with force. The activation force of this switch is 0.3 – 0.4 N. \nUsage\nThe switch is well-suited for use by a finger. This switch can be plugged into any standard AT interface. It can also be used with the Xbox Adaptive Controller. Multiple switches can be used to get input from more than one finger. The switch is also available in a dual side-by-side version.

SUMMARY:Microsoft One Week Event: Accessible Gaming Switch Buildathon
DESCRIPTION:Gamers with disabilities can find it difficult to use standard gaming controllers. Microsoft’s Xbox Adaptive Controller (opens in a new window) is a device that allows gamers with disabilities to remap the buttons on a standard controller. They can also connect switches or other input devices that better match their body shape\, strength\, dexterity\, and overall abilities. \nBoth the Neil Squire Society and Microsoft agree gaming should be accessible to everyone! \nOn July 23rd\, our Makers Making Change team will be at ‘The Garage’\, where 25 Microsoft Vancouver staff members will learn how 3D printing and electronics skills can be used to build a variety of accessibility switches. \nTogether\, we will build the following switches\, some of which are already part of the Makers Making Change Project Library (opens in a new window): Raindrop Switch\, AT Makers Keyswitch\, Resistive Touch Switch\, Light Touch Switch\, Compact Switch. These switches come in a variety of sizes and types and can be plugged into Microsoft’s Xbox Adaptive Controller to help gamers of all abilities play video games. \nHere is a video from Microsoft with some young gamers who have benefited from this access: \n
