JerichoAdaptsToys to become affiliated with Jericho High School's Engineering Club

Recently, the JerichoAdaptsToys team presented in front of the Jericho Engineering Club in preparation to begin working with the club in the upcoming months. There was a large turnout of interested and enthusiastic students. The objectives of our collaboration are to educate students on the population we service, teach students technical skills needed to adapt and 3D print, brainstorm additional solutions we can provide as a team, and discuss the importance of engineering and community outreach. We are planning to start by scheduling a few adapting sessions of 3D printed switches. Adapting toys will be next. Fundraising will also be an important part of this collaboration. We look forward to educating the club about the importance of engineering in the field of assistive technology and how individuals with disabilities can benefit from engineers and their work. As we expand into the engineering program, we hope to engage more Jericho engineers and general students with our work. We greatly look forward to our collaboration. Stay tuned!
