Neil Squire’s Makers Making Change program and Youth Central have partnered up to teach youth STEM based skills and adapt toys for kids with disabilities as part of the Hacking for the Holidays campaign.
Recently, students from the District scolaire francophone Sud (DSFS) in New Brunswick had the chance to witness the impact of their hard work firsthand during a visit to donate devices to the Stan Cassidy Centre for Rehabilitation.
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.
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.
