What if the next great invention started by making life easier for someone else?
Join us for a fun, hands-on workshop where you'll discover how technology can make everyday life more accessible. You'll learn the basics of inclusive design, hear real stories about accessibility, and work in small teams to spot challenges that people experience every day.
Using beginner-friendly electronics like micro:bits, sensors, and simple craft materials, you'll design and build your own interactive prototype. No coding or hardware experience is needed. We'll guide you through each step, from brainstorming ideas to building your mini project.
At the end of the workshop, each team will share their prototype and explain how it could make a difference in the community. Along the way, you'll learn new technical skills, meet like-minded people, and discover that accessibility isn't just about solving problems. It's a chance to create technology that works better for everyone.
Whether you're curious about technology, design, engineering, or simply want to make a positive impact, this workshop is for you.
Please bring your laptops on the day. All other materials will be provided.
