Technology is most powerful when it’s inclusive. 🤝💻

On this Global Accessibility Awareness Day, we’re celebrating the innovators, the advocates, and the users who remind us why inclusive technology matters.

At MITEC, we’re proud to provide the tools, training, and adaptations that foster independence every single day. Let’s keep building a world without barriers! 🚀

For Mental Health Awareness Week, we’re celebrating the power of "doing." 🦾✨ Our job skills training at MITEC isn't just about learning 3D design, videography, 🖥️ cost analysis, and job skills 📊—it’s about the confidence that comes with creating something from scratch. 🛠️🏗️

Having a creative outlet and a path to employment provides a sense of purpose that is vital for mental health. 🧠🌱 We love seeing our participants find their "spark" in the makerspace! ⚡🔥

Let us know if you have someone that would be interested in participating, we are looking for 1 or 2 more people to join our class!

Huge thanks to Dave Welborn and the MO Better Foundation for their incredible generosity! 🚀

Dave donated another 3D printer to the MITEC Makerspace, and it is a game-changer. This isn't just a new piece of equipment—it’s a direct pathway to independence. Because of this generous gift, our students can now design and produce large-scale adaptive items that were previously out of reach.

From customized mobility aids to larger tools for daily living, this professional-grade machine allows our interns to see their designs make a real-world difference. Not only are they learning on industry-professional hardware, but they are also discovering the power of using their skills to help others.

Dave, thank you for empowering our students and believing in our mission. You aren’t just giving us a printer; you’re giving a tool for independence that will be utilized for years to come. 🦾✨
