Through Clubs That Care, an initiative by Neil Squire’s Makers Making Change program, we are helping university and post-secondary clubs and groups to build affordable assistive technology for their community. One such club is the University of Victoria (UVic) Biomedical Engineering Design Club.
“I have never seen him laugh and giggle so much with a toy before,” his mother Cheryl shares from Miramichi, New Brunswick. “Chester loves Peppa Pig, but he has absolutely fallen in love with the dinosaur.”
The build was held in partnership with STEAM PEI, a non-profit organization whose mission is to inspire young Islanders to pursue learning and careers in the fields of science, technology, engineering, art and math.
“It was a great way to get work experience. I would recommend the Working Together program to others who have disabilities and want help getting work experience.”
It was an incredible year for Makers Making Change. Over the course of the year, we hosted and participated in 164 events, we delivered 2,382 devices to people with disabilities, engaged 3,242 volunteers, and our #HackingForTheHolidays campaign was a huge success.
