On World Create Day, we worked on some (very cool) projects that would empower people with disabilities. In Vancouver, we created custom video game controllers, prototyped exo-skeleton arms, and repaired LipSyncs.

We were joined by students and volunteers. Here’s the team in action:

Thank you for helping us build something that matters.
