Celebrate 200 Years of Braille with Understanding Our Differences

Did you know that some people read with their fingers? Join volunteers from Understanding Our Differences for different activities designed to introduce kids to braille and other low vision topics! Follow the “Braille Trail” of engaging hands-on stations with braille books and games, tactile maps and current technology, meet students who use braille every day, and make your own braille bookmark to take home!  Great for ages 5 and up.
