3D Prints Charming: Bringing Learning to Life for Students Who Are Visually Impaired - 36581
For students with visual impairments, 3D printing offers powerful opportunities to transform abstract concepts into meaningful, hands-on learning experiences, especially for students who rely on tactile access. This interactive workshop explores how 3D printing can intentionally support instruction for students with visual impairments and additional disabilities.
Educators will leave with concrete ideas, safety guidelines, and reflection tools to confidently bring 3D printing into their instructional practice, turning learning into something students can truly touch and understand.
