Youth Hub: Assistive Device Building Workshop

About this event

Teens (13-17). A hands-on introduction to assistive technology, including a presentation on the necessity of accessible devices and the ways in which the Organization is involving voices from individuals with disabilities. Participants use real tools to build assistive devices that are later donated to Canadians with disabilities through the Organization’s community partners. Along the way, they gain practical experience in science, technology, and engineering while giving back to their community. Participants receive recognition for community involvement activities (volunteer hours) applicable to high school graduation requirements. If interested, please bring a relevant community involvement tracking form. All teens are welcome! Drop-in, no registration required. This program is part of Youth Hub service. Youth Hubs are a welcoming place for teens after school and in the summer, where helpful staff are always available. Free, nutritious snacks are offered daily.
