Abstract
In this project, middle school students in Israel (ages 12-15) developed accessories for people with special needs and for the community in general. The project was conducted over the course of two years – first as a pilot and then in a larger scope. This project is run in collaboration with community shareholders: the municipality and local high-tech industry, the zoo, student mentors from the community, people from Home for special needs, and Maker spaces for students to create the products.
