3D for Accessibility

Workshop of 3D Geometrical Board at St. Xavier's College, Maitighar - 2024

  • A female participant with visual disability is interacting with the 3D geometrical board. Our Intern Design Instructor (2024/25) Gala Cervera is observing her.
On 28th October, 2024 and 8th November, 2024, Intern Design Instructor (2024/25), Gala Cervera and other officers and executives of Chain For Change conducted 2 consecutive workshops about 3D geometrical board designed for students with visual disabilities. In these workshops, participants with visual disabilities from Laboratory Secondary School, Kirtipur participated. The workshop aimed to teach basic geometric concepts and guide students in using the model effectively.

The impact of the board was assessed using pre and post-tests. The pre-test results showed limited knowledge, with the highest score being 3 out of 10. After engaging with the model, all participants improved their performance, with the top score rising to 6 out of 10 and an average improvement of 15%.

Feedback from students was positive, with two participants rating the model 4 out of 5. They appreciated its interactive features, though one student suggested incorporating pre-built shapes for ease of use. The workshops were a success, demonstrating the model's potential as an engaging educational tool.
