Santa’s Little Hackers Toy Drive

What is Santa’s Little Hackers?

Santa’s Little Hackers is a seasonal toy drive to adapt toys. These adaptations make the toys accessible to individuals with disabilities so they can play independently. We make simple modifications to the electronics of toys and give them away.

Santa’s Little Hackers is an annual event put on by MaxMods. MaxMods is a 501(c)3 not for profit corporation chartered to ‘make the world accessible for all’ by identifying adaptations and modifications to make the world work for individuals living with disabilities.

During our seasonal event, we adapt toys to be used by people of limited physical abilities. These toys allow them to play, interact, find joy and learn.

We take battery powered toys and interrupt the circuit by introducing a 3.5mm jack or a small microcontroller to allow new methods for interacting with the toys.
