On March 3rd, Prospect (new window) employees in Edmonton built Interact Switches (new window) to go to Albertans in need during a Makers Making Change build event.
The Interact Switch is a 3D printable switch design that requires a low amount of force to activate, with the feel of a commercial switch but much more inexpensive to make. With interchangeable tops, the switches are designed to be aesthetically pleasing to the user.
“I just wanted to say thank you for a unique learning experience, it was so interesting. I cannot wait to do it again!” says one build participant.
Thanks to their help, we’ve been able to donate these Interact Switches to families and occupational therapists across Alberta!
