Adapt-a-thon

Project Description

Makers Making Change (MMC) is an organization that aims to make assistive technology more accessible. As a chapter, our mission is to support device requests from the Urbana-Champaign community while raising awareness of DIY assistive technology among users and clinicians through events and local collaborations. We will host an Adapt-A-Thon where volunteers will adapt toys for children with disabilities. We will work with local school districts to provide adapted toys for personal and classroom use. Our approach avoids "fast fashion" in toys, offering long-lasting, reusable, and sustainable solutions.

This proposal directly funds:
1. 3D Printers and Materials
2. Materials for Switches
3. Braille Label Maker
