The world wasn't designed by everyone, and it wasn't designed with everyone in mind.
What we're doing here is we're designing with more people in mind,
we're trying to train future engineers and clinicians to do the same.

Play is developmentally important.
It teaches cause and effect, it teaches fine and gross motor skills,
so having the ability to play with these toys and activate them
and see the output and see the toys actually activated
really ensures that that development is happening.

Toys aren't the only thing that aren't accessible to everyone.
Through our design team program, teams of students pair up with needs experts in the community
to tackle accessibility challenges.
Some of the projects we work on include programming fitness apps for Seattle Children's Hospital,
3D-printing devices for people with arm differences,
and creating more accessible lunch boxes.

We're working on making connections with others in our community,
such as schools, clinics, and tech companies, to build lasting relationships
to build lasting relationships centered around accessibility and inclusivity.
Our hope is to shape future generations of engineers, doctors, and educators
to be more inclusive and benefit the world.
