For eight-year-old Emmett, one of his favourite parts of attending his first camp at Camp Jean Nelson in Water Valley, Alberta in May was a Makers Making Change device build, where he got hands-on experience making Light Touch Switches and Raindrop Switches that will go to people with disabilities.
Over the summer, Makers Making Change hosted nine build events at the TELUS World of Science Edmonton summer camps.
The Edmonton Maker Faire during K-Days from July 22nd to 24th was a great opportunity to meet many new people and spread the word about Makers Making Change. K-Days attendees got the chance to try out our Adaptive Gaming set-up, and learn how easy accessible gaming can be.
Over the past few weeks, Makers Making Change has been quite busy with builds and events across Canada. Here’s a little look at what we’ve been up to for the last while, province-by-province.
