MET Students will come together in this first workshop to build a Spruce Mini Joystick.

The Spruce Mini Joystick is a small analog joystick that can be used for adapted gaming or computer access with a suitable adaptor. This joystick can be used directly with the Xbox Adaptive Controller, or can be combined with the Forest Joystick Mouse Hub and some assistive switches to create a USB HID Mouse or USB HID Gamepad.

Makers Making Change supports STEM education through an assistive technology lens. Our workshops encourage students to tackle real-world challenges as Maker Volunteers and to empathize with people with disabilities. Learn more here: Youth Making Change.
