SUMMARY:Holiday Adapted Toy Hackathon
DESCRIPTION:The holidays are here! Join the NYC metro chapter of Makers Making Change in collaboration with NYU Ability Project for an annual toy adaptation hackathon. \nA switch-adapted toy is a modified toy that has been altered to accommodate the needs of individuals with disabilities. The modification usually involves adding a switch interface that allows the toy to be activated using a switch instead of the toy’s original buttons or controls. \nSwitch-adapted toys are primarily used by individuals with limited mobility or dexterity\, such as those with cerebral palsy\, muscular dystrophy\, or other mobility impairments. These toys provide an accessible and inclusive play experience by allowing individuals with disabilities to independently operate and enjoy the same toys as their peers. The switch can be activated by various means\, such as using a finger\, foot\, or any other body part that the individual can control. By adapting toys in this way\, it promotes cognitive development\, sensory stimulation\, and enhances overall engagement and play opportunities for individuals with disabilities. \nDuring this hackathon\, participants will learn how to adapt a simple toy as well as build a 3D-printed simple switch to activate the toy. To learn more about this process\, take a look at Makers Making Change’s “How to Switch Adapt Toys” page for an overview and additional guidance. \nAll materials and equipment will be provided and are included in the registration cost. You are welcome to keep your adapted toy and switch or may donate it to a needy organization. \nPlease note we will be soldering!!! If you require accommodations\, please let us know in the comments section during the registration process. No young children may attend.
