Assistive technology development for inclusive education

Overview

Students and educators in Argentina, Paraguay, and Spain are developing various technological tools to support students with disabilities.

In Argentina, projects include ‘Tifloquimia’, which utilizes 3D printing with biodegradable filament to create tactile periodic tables and atomic models for scientific learning. Additionally, educators have developed 3D blocks featuring Braille, relief, and color coding to assist blind students in learning English phonetics.

In Paraguay, students at Colegio Técnico Santa Clara developed a smart cane to improve mobility and autonomy for visually impaired individuals. Meanwhile, in Spain, the ‘Proyecto Compá’ at CEIP Blas Infante uses smart bracelets equipped with micro:bit technology to provide signals to children with hearing impairments during sports activities.
