SUMMARY:The Volunteer Management Hybrid Conference 2023
DESCRIPTION:The generation of volunteers in the not too distant future will be very different compared to volunteers now. How can we prepare our policies\, programs and recruitment in an inclusive\, responsible\, and creative way that looks to leverage technology in a human world? \nStephan Dobri\, a Mechanical Engineer on our Makers Making Change team\, will be speaking at this conference. \nStephan has always been interested in using engineering to help improve the lives of other people. The desire to help others lead him to complete his Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering with the Building and Designing Assistive Technology (BDAT) Lab at Queen’s University\, where he learned more about universal and user-centred design\, and assistive devices. Through the BDAT Lab and subsequent teaching at Queen’s\, Stephan learned about Makers Making Change (MMC) and he jumped at the opportunity to join the Engineering and Outreach teams. \nStephan will be presenting creative ways technology is helping volunteers and programs.

SUMMARY:October MMC Monthly Info Session
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our Makers Making Change Monthly Information Session! Our regional coordinators will introduce our Makers Making Change project and provide attendees with everything they need to know to be a part of this exciting project. This is a great opportunity to ask questions or to figure out how you want to get involved – whether it be to receive devices\, volunteer to build\, or whatever you think you can contribute! \nMakers Making Change is a project that connects people who could benefit from assistive devices with volunteer makers. Makers Making Change (MMC) is an innovative community-based initiative that connects makers to people with disabilities to create affordable open source assistive technologies. Makers Making Change utilizes emerging technology such as Arduino microcontrollers\, 3D printing and laser cutting. The project integrates the culture and communities that surround the open source movement\, the maker movement and the crowdsourcing movement.

SUMMARY:3rd Annual Adapted Toy Hackathon - MMC NYC Chapter
DESCRIPTION:The holidays are here! Join the NYC metro chapter of Makers Making Change in collaboration with Makerspace NYC and Second Chance Toys for its third annual toy adaptation hackathon. Our goal is to adapt the gently donated toys supplied by Second Chance Toys for switch access and get them out in time for the holiday. In addition\, we will be building some simple 3D-printed switches to accompany the adapted toys. \nWe will be setting up shop at the Brooklyn Makerspace NYC location along with the needed equipment to adapt. This is a free event and any skill level is welcome from the expert electrical engineer to the curious parent. We will be soldering\, therefore\, young children may not attend. Adapted toys may be taken home free of charge. \nHave a toy you’d like to adapt? Consider bringing it to the hackathon and get some help! When selecting a toy to hack\, consider toys that activate using buttons. Toys that require voice control\, motion\, or other more complex activation methods may be more challenging to adapt. Take a look at Makers Making Change’s “How to Switch Adapt Toys” page for an overview and additional guidance. \nStarting at 11 am\, we will have a short hands-on demonstration of the toy adapting and switch-building process. After that time\, we will have open adapting time for the provided toys with ongoing support from MMC chapter volunteers.
