Tactile Images for Teaching Lego to People with Visual Impairments

thingiverse

We created tactile images corresponding to lego pieces to help a student with visual impairment build the Lego Wedo kicker. lego tactle images can be put in a sorting tray with 8 slots corresponding to 8 slides in the Tiny Tap "Listen Feel Build" Instructions we created (see TinyTap app). Student can select pieces independently based on the feel of the image (together with a few braille stickers to indicate duplicates e.g., 2p, or the slot number) Then listen to instructions provided in the app. Instructions run 30 sec only and there are 4 clicks per slide to keep information simple. Go to http://tinytap.it and search "Listen Feel Build" Try it!
