Join us for this 2-day workshop presented by a cross-section of persons at the front-line of teaching and innovating with 3D printing in Assistive Technology, Prosthetics & Orthotics (new window) to share their experiences and insights.

Presenters range from end-users doing their own prints to educators grappling with how to include this in curriculum, to persons engaged in bringing this technology to market or into clinical practices, while navigating quality control and regulatory requirements. These front-line persons will discuss issues they faced, how they solved problems and what opportunities and challenges they see in applying 3D printing to AT-P&O applications. Critically, knowledge creation and educational support will be considered. Training of Clinical Professionals and Engineering rarely cross over formally in undergraduate education. A portion of time will be taken to consider how education will play a role in bridging existing gaps at the intersection where this innovation is taking place.

Makers Making Change will present session on both days, including a build of one of our open source joystick solutions, as well as a design thinking jam session on various human interface to game controllers.
