Hi Everyone. This might be a bit long. My team Project Aakaar was chosen for the finals of MIT SOCIAL IDEAS innovation which supports social enterprises. In India, blind kids are not taught geometry after middle school cause there aren't adequate tools to teach them the same. Our team is trying to address the problem actively using the 3-D printing capability in India. Please view our idea and progress at https://solve.mit.edu/challenges/mit-ideas-social-innovation-challenge-2021/solutions/40317
It has a simple FB/Google login so very easy to access. This idea has potential to help thousands of visually impaired students in our country. Please vote and help us in making a true social impact. Thank you for reading. Also, I would be really grateful you can share with your personal and professional networks.

Hi there. Thanks for posting this as I’m a huge advocate for teaching blind kids math. As I’m blind and studying STEM with huge challenges. I will save this post and look at it once the semester is over.
However, in English most blind people prefer to be referred as “visually impaired”

Wrong. Blind is good. Visually impaired means that the person has some vision.
