During the first week of December, the Makers Making Change team from across Canada came down to our Burnaby Head Office for team meetings and planning sessions, as well as team bonding activities. One activity the team got to participate in was an internal build event for the new LipSync that our research and development team has been hard at work on.
We’ve hit a huge milestone — with the help of our volunteers, our community, and our supporters, we’ve built 10,000 assistive devices for people with disabilities.
On October 12th, Neil Squire, the Canadian leader in assistive technology, and their Makers Making Change initiative, officially marked 10,000 assistive devices made for persons with disabilities at a build event hosted in partnership with Full Circle™, an Electronic Arts video game development studio.
September is Arthritis Awareness Month in Canada. According to the Arthritis Society of Canada, approximately 6 million Canadians have arthritis, and nearly 1 in 2 people over 65 have arthritis. We wanted to highlight some of the newer devices in our Assistive Device Library that are designed with people with arthritis in mind.
This year, we’re marking five years of the Makers Making Change Assistive Device Library. Over the years, the Assistive Device Library has evolved. We wanted to take a look at how far we’ve come.
