Read with your hands. Print what you teach. Share what you learn.
An open library of 3D-printed teaching aids that make school content accessible to blind and visually impaired students — designed by teachers, shared as open resources across Europe.
An open library of 3D tactile aids, made with the teachers who use them.
Co-designed with four schools specialised in education for blind and visually impaired students across Slovenia, Serbia, North Macedonia and Portugal.
Learning materials are increasingly visual. For blind and visually impaired students in mainstream schools, that creates a daily gap between what teachers show and what students can access. Two-dimensional tactile images help, but they lose the spatial information that often matters most. Fingers Read Space fills that gap with three-dimensional, printable tactile aids — and the teacher training that makes them usable in any classroom, not just a specialist one.
Everything we make is released as open educational resources under CC BY-SA, in English and the four partner languages, with audio descriptions and Braille transcriptions alongside print. Models are designed in TinkerCAD, sliced in Cura, and tested in pilot schools before being added to the open library.
