MNDX

A youth-led assistive technology nonprofit I co-founded. We design, build and deliver open-source assistive devices to Canadians with disabilities, free, in partnership with Makers Making Change and the Neil Squire Society.

every device, always

A $200 switch shouldn't cost $2,000.

Assistive tech is one of the most gatekept corners of hardware. Devices that cost tens of dollars in parts get sold for hundreds, or simply don't exist, leaving people with disabilities without tools they need to work, learn, and connect. MNDX teaches students to design, solder, and print real assistive devices, then delivers them free through the Makers Making Change network.

What we do

Workshops

Hands-on sessions teaching design, electronics, and 3D printing to student makers.

Device Builds

Open-source assistive devices built from vetted plans by Makers Making Change.

Community Delivery

Finished devices routed to recipients through the Makers Making Change network.

Volunteer Engagement

A growing group of youth engineers, designers, and organizers driving the work.

Partner Support

We build alongside Neil Squire Society and MMC, not in a vacuum.

Youth Leadership

Students lead every build, workshop, and delivery. Mentorship is built into the club from day one.
