Looking down the length of a large meeting room with desks of people sitting or standing around tables beginning to make items. Visible are matts, plyers, wires. In the forefront table, one person seems to be instructing others who are concentrating on what she is showing them.

A person wearing eye protection appears to be using a tool to connect wires to a device.

Hands hold a device over a mat. Tools are scattered around.

People look at parts together. They stand over a table with mats, tools and a printed page with images and instructions.

At a recent #MakersMakingChange workshop, we were guided through creating a variety of #Switches, #Joysticks & #Interfaces with our own hands! What an experience! We learned a ton & had a blast! Many thanks to
