Mission

The switch kit is a DIY toolkit designed to facilitate digital accessibility using accessible switches, which can be either commercial switches like the AbleNet Big Red Switch or homemade ones from various materials. What sets our switch kit apart is its compatibility with a wide range of switches, made possible by housing a MakeyMakey board within the input device. MakeyMakey is a commercial circuit board that transforms everyday objects into touch-sensitive inputs. By integrating it into our input device, we've made the board easier to use and more durable.

The switch kit connects to your tablet or computer, enabling it to be used with apps or websites. We've developed user-friendly games using Scratch, a kid-friendly programming platform, but the switch kit can also work with other games or apps that utilize arrow keys or the space bar for input. Additionally, it's compatible with switch control, an accessibility feature on iPads, offering unlimited accessibility possibilities.
