How Your Support Helps
Donor support is the cornerstone of launching Above and Beyond Labs, and every contribution helps us take another step toward creating a transformative space for accessibility innovation. Your generosity will enable us to establish a state-of-the-art accessible maker space, equipped with cutting-edge tools like 3D printers, Braille embossers, CNC machines, vacuum formers, and adaptive software. These resources will be used to develop life-changing adaptive products, from tactile STEM models and educational manipulatives for blind students to accessible home automation systems that foster independence.
Donations also directly fund comprehensive training programs, where blind individuals can learn assistive technology skills such as screen reader navigation, Braille literacy, and smart device integration, preparing them for meaningful careers in accessibility testing or other industries. Additionally, your support allows us to create affordable tools for education, empowering blind students with resources to thrive in STEM and beyond.
With your help, we’ll also establish scholarships for low-income participants, ensuring that financial challenges never stand in the way of someone accessing our programs. Contributions will cover costs like facility setup, equipment, curriculum development, and outreach to the blind community, schools, and advocacy groups.
Every dollar you give has a tangible impact, helping us break down barriers and empower blind and low-vision individuals to lead more independent and fulfilling lives. Together, we can build a future where accessibility is no longer an afterthought but a fundamental right for all. Thank you for helping us go Above and Beyond!
