Are you curious about additional, real-life applications for the tools and skills your students are learning? Are you wondering how toys can be hacked to make them more accessible to children with physical disabilities?This hands-on workshop will introduce participants to assistive technology making skills to create usable access products. Participants will learn basic soldering to join wire segments and assemble electrical components for use in a variety of assistive technology applications. Those skills - along with some 3D-printed parts - will be applied to create a mechanical switch that could be used by an individual with physical disabilities. Each participant will also make a battery interrupter and switch-adapt an electronic toy that can be used with the scratch-built switch. Participants are encouraged to bring a reusable shopping bag to carry completed projects home at the end of the day.Background | The AIU is a proud contributor to the 412 Ability Tech EcosystemWhat to Bring | A reusable shopping bag to carry completed projects homeWho Should Attend | General education teachers, special education teachers, assistive technology specialists, occupational therapists, and other accessibility-minded individuals (Beginners are welcome - no previous making experience is required)
