Last week, we wrapped up our TELUS Days of Giving LipSync Buildathons. Some incredible TELUS team members helped us build 175 LipSyncs over the past month and a half!

These LipSyncs are available for free in British Columbia, Alberta, and Ontario. If you live in these provinces and are waiting on or want to trial a LipSync, please get in touch! Email Zee at zeek@neilsquire.ca and she’ll help you out.

Here are a few photos recapping our buildathons. Check out our Facebook album for more photos.

Thank you, TELUS, for your leadership and support in hosting these LipSync Buildathons, enabling us to create assistive solutions for people with disabilities all over Canada.

PS: We’re at the CAOT Conference all week. Zee hosted a pre-conference workshop yesterday introducing maker skills to occupational therapists. It focused on using 3D modelling, 3D printing, and creating switch adapted toys. Here’s a peek at one such switch adapted toy.
