Project Summary
Higher education in STEM disciplines from international universities is mostly inaccessible to Visually Impaired (VI) students in India due to the unavailability of cost-effective tactile educational tools for those students. Our team is working on a circular economy model for these devices that minimizes financial investment while maximizing social impact. Conducting workshops in schools with 3-D printing capabilities would champion the cause of "accessible design" while actualizing distributable end-prints.
