Lego creates special bricks to teach Braille

By ITS Education Asia


It is always great to see private companies taking action to help those disadvantaged in our society, therefore this article drew the attention of Chalkface.

Braille isn't as easy as ABCs; it takes time and a dedicated teacher who knows it, and that is not common. So, in stepped Lego with their new Braille bricks. The studs on these Lego bricks have been specially rearranged to represent letters, numbers and symbols — the building blocks of language. "It's a good way of bringing sighted and vision-impaired people together, playing with Lego," said Aya.

Lego hopes their new bricks bridge the gap so anyone can use them straight out of the box.

"You're making learning fun," said correspondent Ian Lee.

What a great idea. Teaching braille and making it fun.
