On November 15th, The Ripple Co, in partnership with and the amazing faculty and students at the , adapted over 30 toys for children in the community.

We also had the opportunity to teach the University students how to solder and adapt toys, giving them valuable hands-on experience with assistive technology.

Together, we’re building skills, spreading accessibility, and making a real impact one toy at a time.

In partnership with , we had our Holiday Toy Adapt-Thon on November 8th. We adapted 15 toys for children with disabilities in our community and we also taught members of the Gainesville Rotaract Club and new Roaring Riptide students how to solder and adapt toys.
