UW Go Baby Go, co-directed by CREATE Associate Director Heather Feldner, is excited to announce its fall workshop where we will build ten Go Baby Go cars for local children with disabilities and their families!
UW and CREATE students, postdocs, and faculty (especially from engineering, computer science, and rehab programs), local clinicians, and parents/caregivers are all encouraged to attend.
Saturday, November 6, 2021
* Workshop: 8:30 a.m.-2 p.m.
* Family car fittings and pickup: 2-4 p.m.UW Rehab Medicine, BB tower 916 and 918
Outdoor car pickup location TBD
Each car will be custom-adapted for safety and accessibility so children can engage in self-initiated mobility, exploration, and socialization at ages equitable to their non-disabled peers. Through sponsorship and fundraising, cars are provided at no cost to families.
Volunteers needed!
To volunteer, please fill out the volunteer form and we will be in touch with all the rest of the logistics and details!
Please note that per Washington State and UW policy, all volunteers will be required to mask up throughout the build and show proof of full COVID vaccination to participate.
We will have a separate refreshment space for breaks and snacks/drinks throughout the build.
