SUMMARY:Game Accessibility Conference (#GAconf)
DESCRIPTION:Chad Leaman\, Neil Squire Director of Innovation\, and Tyler Fentie\, Game Accessibility Lead\, from the Makers Making Change team will be presenting at the 2023 Game Accessibility Conference (#GAconf). This event can be attended virtually or in person. For details on the event\, visit the GAconf website (new window) \nMore information from the GAconf page below: \nGAconf is a professional conference for the games industry\, founded to advance the field of accessibility in game development. \nUnderstanding and implementation of accessibility principles has been growing at an exponential rate\, with every year seeing many more developers making their first forays into the field and may more consolidating and building on past experiences. This makes the conference a perfect opportunity to take stock and exchange experiences and expertise. \nAttendees can expect a wide range of topics from all sectors of the industry – indie to AAA\, academia to accessibility specialists – and leave with inspiration\, new contacts\, and practical knowledge of how to ensure their vision is able to reach as wide a range of players as possible\, so no player is unnecessarily excluded from the access to culture\, recreation and socialising that gaming brings.

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.
