SalvageGarden Ltd

SalvageGarden Ltd. is a dedicated, volunteer-led Assistive Technology (AT) Makerspace founded on the principle of “People-first design.” Our mission is to challenge the high cost and limited personalisation of traditional AT by developing affordable, open-source, and locally manufactured solutions. Operating from the Punggol Regional Library in Singapore, we run weekly “Critical Making” design sessions. These sessions bring together people with disabilities (PwDs), caregivers, makers, designers, and clinicians in a collaborative environment where digital fabrication tools like 3-D printers are used for hands-on prototyping. To date, this community-driven approach has yielded over 100 public participatory design workshops and established an open-source library of over 140 designs downloaded globally, showcasing the power of our TECH FOR GOOD ethos and our commitment to a DIWO (Do It With Others) approach.
