How does Makers Making Change work?

People with disabilities and disability

professionals suggest ideas and request

devices from our open source library.

Makers in the community, like educators,

makerspace members, and hobbyists,

volunteer their skills, tools, and time to

build requests and ideas. Users only pay

for the material costs.

Makers Making Change is for you if:

• Commercial devices are unaffordable

• You’re looking for a customized device

• Commercial devices don’t address your needs
