A few months ago Ian created an add-on connecting his phone to the wheelchair battery so he could charge his phone on the go. Ian was the most dedicated Maker at TOM:DC and was onsite for the full 72 hours; he was the go-to volunteer for anything anyone needed help with. Ian worked with Kathryn, who has CP to design a cell phone case that she can easily hold in her hand.
He lost a leg from health complications and now uses a motorized wheelchair.
Ian is a Maker and a Need Knower.
An open-source assistive technology project shared free by TOM: Tikkun Olam Makers.
