A friendly reminder that you can help put Assistive Technology into the
Guinness World Record this Friday! Take a free ½ hour lesson on demand on
Friday!  Here are details:



Ever thought you would get a chance to be part of a *GUINNESS WORLD
RECORDS™* attempt? Here's your big chance! 30 minutes on Dec 3rd is all you
need to help set a *GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS* title for "The most users to
take an online DIY assistive technology lesson in 24 hours."

Neil Squire's Makers Making Change <https://www.makersmakingchange.com>
program is aiming to set an #ATWorldRecord on the UN International Day of
Persons with Disabilities to raise awareness of the need for affordable
assistive technology (AT) solutions for people with disabilities.

Please register now <https://www.atworldrecord.com/> to participate in
breaking a world record.

Participants in our Guinness World Records attempt will learn the following
about DIY Assistive Technology:
*·*       How DIY Assistive Technologies fill a gap for many people with
disabilities.
*·*       How to use 3D Printing in creating DIY Assistive Technologies.
*·*       Where to find more open-source DIY Assistive Devices.
*·*       Experiences of people with disabilities using DIY Assistive
Solutions.
*·*       How you can get started building DIY Assistive Technologies.

Help to spread the word! Let everyone know that you are participating
in a *GUINNESS
WORLD RECORDS *attempt, by sharing the hashtag #ATWorldRecord and having
them register on the website <https://www.atworldrecord.com/>. Once you
have registered, you will receive an email with a link.  All you have to do
on December 3rd is click into the lesson and watch the videos. Here is a

you'll do to help be a part of making history.
