About this Event

Teen program.

Join us to learn about the Makers Making Change program and to switch-adapt toys. Participants will learn how to take apart a toy, identify buttons that control the toy, and solder in jacks that will allow someone to control the toy with an assistive switch.

All switch-adapted toys will be donated to children with disabilities across Ontario as part of the Hacking for the Holidays campaign by Neil Squire’s Makers Making Change program to make play accessible to families with children with disabilities across Canada. Volunteer hours will be provided for participation in this program. Please register in-branch or by calling 416-393-7663.

This is a youth program intended for teens. For more information about Youth Hubs, please .
