Crystal Park School Build Class 1
November 26, 2024 @ 1:45 pm - 3:15 pm MST
Crystal Park students are partnering with Makers Making Change for a series of Hacking for the Holiday events.
Students will be provided with instructions, tools and materials to build switches and switch adapted toys.
This event is closed to Crystal Park Students.
Why is this so important?
Every child deserves to play. But for many kids with disabilities, toys can be hard to use independently, and commercially adapted versions can run upwards of $300. However, with a little bit of tinkering, we can switch-adapt toys and make them accessible for a fraction of the cost.
The event is part of our Hacking for the Holidays campaign. From September to December, we’re engaging volunteers — students, corporate partners, and other community members — in 80 build events across 10 provinces to help us adapt and donate 2,000 toys and switches to families and clinicians all over Canada.
