If you don’t know Rory Banaszek, then it is our pleasure to introduce you to him. Rory is an asset to the PEACE NW team often supporting marketing and administrative tasks. Rory’s role has expanded to being the first operator of the PEACE NW 3D Printer!
Rory will focus on creating tools to help individuals with mobility and dexterity limitations have a more independent life. Rory will focus on bottle openers and supports that can help individuals plug and unplug things we all use and perhaps take for granted. Picture not being able to charge your phone because you don’t have supports. PEACE NW and Rory wants to change that!
What you should know about Rory is his vision for the future. Rory wants 3D printers to be more cost effective so they can be a household item. While 3D printers range in prices, they are not affordable especially to population who have limited income.
PEACE NW wants to thank the Washington Assistive Technology Act Program (WATAP) who continue to work towards assistive technology improvements. Team members of WATAP trained members of the PEACE NW team on how to utilize our new device so we can remove barriers for our disability community.
