SUMMARY:Virtual Dice Spinner Workshop
DESCRIPTION:A dice spinner is a DIY assistive device created by Brady Fulton of ATNomad. This device helps a person with fine motor control difficulties to roll dice independently. \nThe device uses a motor and enclosure to prevent the dice from rolling off the table. The dice spinner can be operated by a switch that best suits the user. \nWould you like to learn how to build this device?\nMore info of where to get your parts can be found in the event link \nParticipants will need to order their own parts and cost is estimated under $20 each. This device becomes much cheaper if you have parts on hand\, or if you create 6 or more(estimated $3-7 each)dicdd
