Hackcess is a hackathon focused on using digital fabrication and maker technologies to help disabled people live more independent lives, improving accessibility through technology.
It’s a two-day event hosted in partnership with Fab Lab London, Goldsmiths’ student-run Hacksmiths group, Autodesk, Ultimaker 3D Printers and the disability charity Whizz-Kidz. They’ll have a heap of technology for all you designers, makers, coders and product people to use to design new and exciting assistive technologies during the hackathon.
There will be food, drink, electricity, WiFi, 3D printers, digital fabrication equipment and traditional tools (that’s drills, hammers, wood and stuff like that) so that you can get on with the real work – changing lives. It will be a real opportunity to make change for good.
The event is open to makers and inventors of all ages including children. Young makers should be at least 18 years, unless accompanied with a parent/carer.
Where: Fab Lab London, 1 Frederick’s Place, Off Old Jewry EC2R 8AE
When: Friday 20 – Saturday 21 November 2015
