Dementia Music Box Build at Bellingham Makerspace

On August 3rd, Mary Elliot from Bellingham Makerspace and Ross Porter of DQMusicBox.com hosted a successful event where participants build 8 Dementia Friendly Music Players which were donated to those in need. This was a project originally designed by Ross for his father and has since gone on to feature in the Makers Making Change project library. The Dementia Friendly Music Player is just one example of open-source projects available for interested makers.
