3D for Accessibility

Workshop on Plant and Animal Cells - 2023

On 29th December, 2023, Project Members Khushi Subedi, Romee Jijicha, Sangam Khadka and Karmendra Shrestha gave a workshop about Plant and Animal Cells to the students with visual disabilities of Grade 9 and 10 studying in Laboratory Secondary School, Kirtipur, Kathmandu.

Khushi who conceptualized and made the accessible 3D Plant and Animal Cells, explained about the topic to the students. Other project members supported the students in understanding the lecture. One by one, they went to the individual student and made them touch the models and learn about the concept by the use of their senses of touch and sound.

Along with that, students also were taught to explore the model through CFC app which gave audio description of the 3D accessible models by scanning the QRs attached to it. Pre and Post tests were conducted to assess the effectiveness of the process.
