The 3D Printed Educational Devices Kit contains devices that support people with disabilities in activities of daily living and learning. These devices assist people with arthritis, limited finger exterity or other disabilities. This kit gives schools a great introduction into the world of 3D printed Assistive Technology (AT).

This device provides a large gripping surface and clamps onto the caps of standard water bottles with a small squeeze, allowing users to remove or screw on water bottle caps.

Users loop their finger through the hole and twist to lock and unlock doors with minimal wrist movement. The large key bed can accommodate various shape of key heads.

The pen ball makes it easier to grip a pen, pencil, or other writing utensils.

Users can gently curl their fingers around a handle to hold it securely or hook their thumb around the writing utensil

The dyslexia bar is a tool that isolates text on a page so readers can focus on reading one or two lines at a time. This reading bar can be used on flat documents and sheets of paper.

The switch activated dice spinner utilizes a hobby motor, battery holder, and jack along with a couple 3d printed parts and a clear plastic cup to make any dice game more accessible. It is an easy toy to make that allows children to roll the dice in an alternative way.

The switch is activated by applying pressure on the top surface. This switch can be connected to any standard AT interface, and can also be used with the Xbox Adaptive Controller. The kit contains different colours and textures of interchangeable button tops.
