Bellingham Makerspace – Adaptathon
Saturday, December 7th 12pm-4pm @ Invent Coworking
114 W Magnolia St #505, Bellingham
Adaptathon! Working with Makers Making Change, the Adaptathon is a great way to help people with special needs as a community of makers. Adapted toys help to expand the worlds of children with motor and other disabilities. We will get together to adapt electronic toys with switches for children who would not be able to otherwise play with those toys, and build special game controllers for those who cannot use traditional game controllers. Learn soldering, 3d printing, and help people and children in the community with special needs enjoy games and toys that will enrich their lives. This is $20, to help offset the costs of materials and support the MakerSpace. Volunteer opportunities are also available by request.
