About the Project

Access to assistive technology for students with and without disabilities is vital to promote their independence. When people hear the word assistive technology they automatically think of speech generating devices, but it can be any device or object that allows a person to become more independent. With 3D printers students will create and assemble items from start to finish for students within the district and community. This would allow us to create and maintain a lending library for students, other schools in our community, and for our students to take home.
