UC Berkeley’s Disability Lab is disrupting the disruptors and bringing the disabled community in to the tech environment by centering design around disabled individuals.
The lab wants to (belatedly) thank everyone who donated during Cal’s Big Give a couple weeks ago! With your help, we raised almost one thousand dollars! All of us from Hearst-Annex thank you and are hyped to use your funds to make our space even RAD-er & MAD-er!![]()

[ID: Thank you card on a cerulean-esque blue background. In the center of the page is a photo, in an oval frame, of lab members with big smiles, making hearts with their hands. Nate, in the middle of the photo, holds a laser-printed circular wooden sign with the ADA symbol of access, with the first half of the wheelchair replaced by half a heart (it’s very cute). The photo has a navy and gold christmas light graphic at the top of the card.

This episode features Nate Tilton from RadMad Disability Lab at UC Berkeley! The Disability Lab is an accessible and disability-inclusive makerspace. We discuss the origins of the lab, how it serves as an identity makerspace, the accessibility of the lab’s design and equipment, and the projects that have been done and are currently being done within the space. The Disability Lab serves as a model for what other universities should be doing to increase accessibility and inclusion on campuses. Nate and I also discuss disability and higher education during our conversation. Take a listen!
