Ashley’s Story
Ashley’s team didn’t quite have enough time in 48 hours to make her bionic legs, so they made her a 3D printed stabilized cup holder instead, and along the way they restored her faith in humanity.
We use technology, knowledge and passion to empower Canadians with disabilities.

We have another Stateside Buildathon coming up, and this one’s close to home — we’ll be in the Pacific Northwest just outside of Seattle in beautiful Tacoma, Washington on Monday, July 31st.
Makers Making Change and FabLab Tacoma have partnered to host a LipSync Buildathon in Tacoma, Washington on Monday, July 31 from 9 am – 3 pm.
The Rehabilitation Engineering and Assistive Technology Society of North America (RESNA) awarded the Most Disruptive Technology award to the Neil Squire Society for their LipSync, a device that was developed by the Society’s Makers Making Change initiative.
We capped off a month of Buildathons, Maker Faires, and outreach with a trip to Charlottetown, PEI (and the surrounding area) for the 2017 Canadian Association of Occupation Therapists (CAOT) Conference.
