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.
“From a UX designer鈥檚 perspective, I was often surprised at how a feature that I had initially thought was designed well could unintentionally have a negative impact on the user experience for those who were not comfortable using technology.”
We are excited to announce our #HackingForTheHolidays event series and fundraising campaign.
For eight-year-old Emmett, one of his favourite parts of attending his first camp at Camp Jean Nelson in Water Valley, Alberta in May was a Makers Making Change device build, where he got hands-on experience making Light Touch Switches and Raindrop Switches that will go to people with disabilities.
Thanks to Co-op Refinery Complex’s Emergency Response Team’s engagement and hard work, interactive toys, switches, and battery interrupters have been delivered to the Wascana Rehabilitation Centre.
