Here is the rewritten text: Learning to read and communicate just got easier for the blind community thanks to this braille alphabet. Not only can it be used to create words, but it's also easy to stick on a metal notice board by gluing a magnet in the back hole. How I Designed This I designed all the braille plates using Solid Edge, keeping them simple and accessible for other modeling programs. The braille parts are straightforward holes and cylinders, while the regular text is represented as letters created with Solid Edge at specific positions. Project: Braille Alphabet Objectives: By using this alphabet, both students and teachers can learn braille and gain a deeper understanding of what life is like for blind individuals. Blind students can leave messages on a metal notice board without disabilities or other blind students nearby. Audiences: This project is suitable for all students, regardless of their visual abilities. There's no specific age requirement to learn something new like Braille and become more aware of people with disabilities. Preparation: Students can use the plates as they come out from the printer or attach them to a notice board by gluing a small magnet into the back hole. If the filament color is dark, students can paint them for extra fun. Steps! 1. The teacher gives each student 5 letter plates. 2. At home, students learn the letters by feeling their shapes with their fingers. 3. The next day, they swap letters with classmates. 4. Once all the letters are learned, teachers divide the classroom into small groups of two, where both blind and non-blind students participate. Everyone gets blindfolded. 5. Teachers give one student in each group a word to find among the letter plates and then share it with their partner who tries to guess the word. Results: Thanks to this braille alphabet, teachers can lead engaging team-building activities that include blind students. It's an excellent way for blind students to socialize and have fun with classmates while understanding what life is like for people with visual impairments.
