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” .
Save the date!
Join us on the 8-9 of September!
Mark your calendars for the Makeathon event, set for September 8th and 9th, 2023, following a preparation day (6/9/23). The program will persist beyond the Makeathon, featuring additional meetups.
What is on the agenda?
Hasoub and Tom will work together in multi-disciplinary teams, including designers, engineers, healthcare professionals, and individuals with disabilities, within a dynamic and collaborative hackathon framework. Through goal-oriented team meetings, we will develop solutions that address the needs and improve the quality of life for people with disabilities. These solutions will be published as open source and globally exposed, benefiting thousands of additional users worldwide.
The Full Schedule will be Published Soon!
