Isaac Makes a Difference With Assistive Technology
We’ve recently had the chance to host a build event in Summerside, PEI, with the help of Isaac, a student who’s been doing some amazing things in the field of assistive technology.
We use technology, knowledge and passion to empower Canadians with disabilities.

Ever since attending a build event with his family in February, Ethan has been a dedicated Makers Making Change volunteer.
The students at Templeton Secondary School’s STEM program had a hefty task at hand. First, they needed to figure out how to switch adapt a toy, taking it apart and modifying it so that a child with a disability could more easily play with it using an adaptive switch. Then, they needed to make instructions to help future makers adapt that same toy.
Over the course of three Youth Making Change workshops with Makers Making Change, Grade 9 drafting students at Linden Christian School in Winnipeg put their drafting skills in action to make a difference for children with disabilities.
Our Makers Making Change team had a great time at the Skills Canada National Competition on May 25th and 26th in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
