The Assistive Technology Learning Pathway

To make getting started easy, we’ve created the Assistive Technology Learning Pathway — a step-by-step guide through the PrintLab courses and projects most useful for Make:able. It outlines a recommended learning journey that builds key skills in 3D CAD, 3D printing, empathy, ideation, and iterative design, specifically for assistive technology.

 

 

You can explore the courses that interest you most — there’s no need to complete the whole pathway. Even a few activities can help you build new skills and spark great ideas for your Make:able project. Download the PDF guide below to view the pathway.
