Makers Making Change
About this resource
We connect people with disabilities to volunteer makers to build assistive technologies
Makers Making Change offers a platform for makers (engineers, hobbyists, students, corporations, etc.) to volunteer their time to make an access solution from our projects library. People with disabilities, their family members, or disability professionals can request a project that they feel will help address a person's barriers.
You may freely download the designs and skilled volunteers in your community can work with the recipient in ensuring the project meets their needs.
Our platform enables everyone to publish and share open-source assistive technology designs, made both by our organization and other makers. People can share access challenges, solutions, and review existing projects.
