Ashley’s Story
Ashley’s team didn’t quite have enough time in 48 hours to make her bionic legs, so they made her a 3D printed stabilized cup holder instead, and along the way they restored her faith in humanity.
We use technology, knowledge and passion to empower Canadians with disabilities.

We have another Stateside Buildathon coming up, and this one’s close to home — we’ll be in the Pacific Northwest just outside of Seattle in beautiful Tacoma, Washington on Monday, July 31st.
We capped off a month of Buildathons, Maker Faires, and outreach with a trip to Charlottetown, PEI (and the surrounding area) for the 2017 Canadian Association of Occupation Therapists (CAOT) Conference.
Over 48 hours in January of 2017, Inventors, Creators, Hackers, and Change Makers came together in Vancouver to build open source assistive technologies for people with disabilities. This is Jim & Isabelle’s story.
We hadn’t done a Buildathon in the United States yet. So why not do two of them on the same day in opposite ends of the country? That’s what we did Sunday, as part of the Nation of Makers’ Week of Making, with Buildathons in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and Seattle, Washington.
