Holiday Toy Hack with Makers Making Change
From the event description:
Makers Making Change will be hosting a family-friendly Holiday Toy Hack event. Many toys have built-in standard switches, which can be difficult for children with motor control challenges to use. In order to make a toy more accessible for kids with disabilities, we can "hack a toy" by re-wiring the electricity and adding a simple headphone jack.
When: Saturday, Dec. 14, 10 a.m.-2 p.m.
Where: Arizona Science Center, 600 E. Washington St.
Price: Free
