About MakeAble
Our Mission & Story
youth engineers eager to design and make them. That's why MakeAble exists.
1 in 4 older adults don't have the right assistive devices: either they don't fit, they're too expensive, or many aren't aware that there are simple tools that could make life so much easier.
We believe that assistive devices should beuniversally accessible, yet personalized to fit each individual's unique needs and preferences.
We listen first, then design and iterate. The goal is simple: make tools that actually work for you.
