Noam Platt: 我从小在路易斯安那州的一个小镇长大,在建筑学校学习期间,我意识到自己拥有的设计技能和创新能力可以对残疾人社区产生重大影响。我参与了多个Make-a-thons项目,这些项目由残疾人提出需求,多学科团队共同解决,这让我对开放式设计和3D打印技术在辅助技术中的应用有了更深入的了解。通过与图兰大学和路易斯安那州立大学的合作,我们成功地为残疾儿童设计和制造了经济实惠的辅助设备,例如幼儿移动训练器,这些设备极大地改善了他们的生活质量。我们与世界各地的团队合作,共同开发和改进设计,并通过开放源代码和3D打印技术,使这些设计能够被世界各地的人们复制和使用,从而降低了辅助技术的成本,提高了可及性。我们不仅致力于创造辅助技术,更重要的是培养更多人掌握相关技能,形成一个共享的辅助技术社区,让更多的人能够参与到辅助技术的开发和应用中来。 John R. Miles: 作为节目的主持人,我与Noam Platt进行了深入的访谈,了解了他创办MakeGood组织的初衷以及他在辅助技术领域所做的贡献。通过与Noam的对话,我深刻认识到开放式设计和3D打印技术在降低辅助技术成本,提高其可及性方面的巨大潜力。Noam分享的案例故事,例如Sebastian的故事,以及MakeGood与图兰大学和路易斯安那州立大学的合作,都生动地展现了包容性创新如何改变世界,如何通过技术手段赋能残疾人,让他们能够更好地参与社会生活。同时,Noam也强调了社区参与和国际合作的重要性,以及如何通过教育和培训,培养更多的人才参与到辅助技术的开发和应用中来。
