Braille for the Sighted: Workshops for Young People
Be inspired by the story of Louis Braille, who was twelve when he conceived the writing system that changed the lives of blind people all over the world. Learn the basics of his alphabet and practice writing on a braille slate and a braillewriter. Advanced students will learn about braille contractions and whole word signs, as well as how to write music and do math with braille.
