JerichoAdaptsToys.org Hosts Toy-Adapting Session at the iHOPE Academy of New York City

This past Tuesday, Corinne Dicpinigaitis of JerichoAdaptsToys coordinated a a toy and switch adapting session at the iHOPE Academy of New York City. Michael Dicpinigaitis, Corinne Dicpinigaitis, Eric Li, and Jai Joshi all presented to staff at the school for children with multiple disabilities on how to adapt a 3D printed switch and a remote controlled fire truck. The session was super successful, with well over 20 people working in groups that all learned a hands-on approach to adapting, soldering, and wiring. Everyone was able to take these toys and switches back to the classrooms following the presentation so that the finished products could be used in action right away. See some of the pictures of the session below, everyone had a blast!
