Last night at the Community Maker Club was a success! It was the first night of our service project, where we are helping local teachers with making toys that are more accessible to their students that have varying levels of physical abilities.

If you have any toys to donate, or are interested in helping out, please comment or message us! Otherwise, you can drop by the Workspace during club, which is at 6pm every Tuesday!
