Creating Solutions that Address the Unique Needs of Individuals with Disabilities

We are thrilled to announce the launch of the very first Makeathon at Hasoub Garage in collaboration with TOM.


The purpose of this Makeathon is to pioneer solutions that cater to the specific needs of individuals with disabilities. We invite participants from diverse fields, including industrial designers, doctors, occupational therapists, engineers, programmers, and more! Moreover, the registration is open for individuals with disabilities to join as team members, to offer a need that requires a solution. In other words, “the need knowers” .
