Building tools for the people the market forgot.
MNDX is a youth-led nonprofit designing and delivering assistive devices for people with disabilities, in partnership with the Neil Squire Society, Makers Making Change, and Rexdale Community Hub.
A $200 switch shouldn't cost $2,000.
Assistive technology is one of the most gatekept corners of hardware. Devices that could cost tens of dollars in parts are sold for hundreds, or don't exist at all, leaving people with disabilities without the tools they need to work, learn, and connect.
MNDX believes young makers can close that gap. We teach students to design, solder, and print real assistive devices, then deliver them free to the people who need them through the Makers Making Change network.
From workshop bench to someone's hands.
Workshops
Hands-on sessions teaching design, electronics, and 3D printing to student makers.
Device Builds
Open-source assistive devices built from vetted plans by Makers Making Change.
Community Delivery
Finished devices routed to recipients through the Makers Making Change network.
Volunteer Engagement
A growing group of youth engineers, designers, and organizers driving the work.
Partner Support
We build alongside Neil Squire Society and MMC, not in a vacuum.
What we're building right now.
One project at a time. Built well before it's built wide.
Forest Hub
An accessible control hub from the Makers Making Change library. Our first production run, assembled, tested, and prepared for delivery through the MMC network.
Next projects drop into this tracker as we scope them with our partners.
The people who started this.
Two students who got tired of watching assistive tech sit behind a paywall.
Started MNDX to turn a room full of students into a real pipeline for assistive tech. Runs the club, the builds, and the partnerships.
Helps shape the workshops and keeps the build nights running. Focused on getting more young makers behind the bench.

We post every device we ship and every workshop we run.
