Applied Materials brought 77 kits to life through a virtual Kynd Kit build, assembling Children’s Hospital Sensory Bags for kids in treatment.
How it worked
Kits shipped to each participant’s home so the team could build together from wherever they were. A Project Helping host led the session by video call, walking the group through the cause and the kit before the build began. Each person assembled their own individual kit using the step-by-step instructions included in the box. A Project Helping program manager set up the program, confirmed the timeline, and arranged for the finished bags to ship back with prepaid labels, so the team didn’t have to manage logistics on either end. Applied Materials also received an impact report after the build.
Once the sensory bags arrived back at Project Helping, they were delivered to a nonprofit in Project Helping’s recipient network. The bags give kids in hospital treatment something calming to hold onto during a hard stretch of time. Any team looking for a virtual way to build something meaningful, no matter where people are located, can run a program like this one.
