LipSync

Are you a Disability Professional?

Do you want to learn more about how 3D printing, simple electronics, and open source is changing the field of assistive technology?

On Sept 26th and 30th, Neil Squire Society’s Makers Making Change (new window) is hosting two six hour workshops in the Washington, DC area. At these workshops, disability professionals will have the opportunity to work with local maker volunteers with technical skills on a one on one basis to build a LipSync (new window), a mouth controlled input device which enables people with little or no hand movement to operate a touchscreen device.

The LipSyncs built at these workshop can be used at health care facilities or donated to someone in the community. This project was developed with funding from Google Foundation.

Join Us! No Experience Necessary!

Sept 26th 2018. 9am-3pm Washington DC. Location TBA (new window)

or Sept 30 2018. 10am -5pm Washington DC. Location TBA (new window)
