About the Event

Santa’s Little Hackers is a seasonal toy drive that adapts electronic toys to make them accessible for individuals with disabilities. These adaptations help children and adults play independently and experience the joy of inclusion during the holidays.

Santa’s Little Hackers is organized by MaxMods, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to “making the world accessible for all” by developing adaptations and modifications that remove barriers for people living with disabilities.

Join us for our 12th annual toy making event and be part of the magic that brings accessible play to families around the world!
