Braille Learning Board

This 3D model is a game-changer for learning braille. Every single letter of the alphabet is prominently displayed on this innovative board, making it a valuable tool for people of all ages. Project: Braille Learning Board Objectives: We aim to create a user-friendly educational experience that caters to both visually impaired and sighted individuals, teaching them the fundamentals of reading braille in an engaging manner. Audiences: Our target audience consists of anyone who can tap into their sense of touch. Both the blind community and people with typical vision can effortlessly master the braille alphabet using this hands-on model. Preparation: Don't worry if you're new to 3D printing or teaching - all you need is a basic understanding of how to use a 3D printer, and we'll take care of the rest. Steps: To start, gently place your index finger on the first set of tactile dots. As it meets only one raised dot, you've successfully recognized the letter "A". To navigate through the remaining letters, smoothly slide your finger over to the adjacent dots, progressing one letter at a time. When you've covered the initial 13 letters, drop down to the next row and start fresh on the letter "N". Results: The successful completion of this project yields an interactive braille alphabet board that empowers students to confidently read each and every letter of the alphabet. A possible evaluation exercise could be randomly selecting a braille letter for a student to identify by touch, assessing their proficiency in deciphering the tactile patterns.
