Our celestial neighbours payed a visit to Portuguese blind children on early July 2013. During the activities the children learnt all about our solar system neighbours, explored their main features, built tactile images and presented them to their peers.
The tactile image construction was carefully supervised by our team.
On the first session, the thirteen tactile images were presented to the children.
The children explored the different tactile images and their main features.
On the second session it was time for them to build the tactile images of their favourite celestial objects.
The children choose from different textures available, the ones they needed to build the tactile images.
On the third and final session, the children presented their images to their friends.
