SUMMARY:Hacking for the Holidays: Fredericton Toy Adapting
DESCRIPTION:Join Neil Squire’s Makers Making Change team at this exciting event where volunteers will adapt toys for children with disabilities! \nMakers Making Change is excited to once again partner with New Brunswick’s Premier’s Council on Disabilities to host our annual Hacking for the Holidays event. \nVolunteers will be provided with instructions\, tools and materials to adapt a toy for switch access. Never done anything like this before? Don’t worry\, no prior experience working with tools or electronics is required — we’ll walk you through every step. Everyone is welcome. \nWhy is this so important?\nEvery child deserves to play. But for many kids with disabilities\, toys can be hard to use independently\, and commercially adapted versions can run upwards of $300. However\, with a little bit of tinkering\, we can switch-adapt toys and make them accessible for a fraction of the cost. \nThe event is part of our Hacking for the Holidays campaign. From September to December\, we’re engaging volunteers — students\, corporate partners\, and other community members — in 80 build events across 10 provinces to help us adapt and donate 2\,000 toys and switches to families and clinicians all over Canada. \nMore information on Hacking For The Holidays
