SUMMARY:Valley Makers Access Switch Build w/NW Works
DESCRIPTION:About this Event\n\n\nValley Makers Makerspace is hosting an access switch build in partnership with NW works at the Fire Fly Cafe! \nWhat is an access switch? \nAn access switch is a switch that allow a person with limited mobility in their hands to access devices like tablets\, smartphones\, computers\, toys and other electronics. They come in all varieties depending on the capabilities of the individual. \nWhy are we building an access switch? \nAccess switches can be very costly devices. A typical commercial switch costs about $75\, which can be unaffordable to many people who do not have adequate insurance or for those who are low income. Makers Making Change has a library of open source assistive devices(switches being just one device) that are more affordable through open source designs and volunteer makers like you! The switches we will assemble at the event can be made for approx $5 in parts and will be distributed to people and organizations in the community who need them. \nWhere are the switches going after the event? \nSwitches will go to NW Works as well as Valley Health. \nHow Do I Get Involved? \nRegister Here for the event \nand \nSign up to volunteer your skills to make a project for a person with a disability at www.makersmakingchange.com
