The possibility of blind children and adults learning and teaching STEM subjects is being considered by the National Association for the Blind-Karnataka (NABK).
Story so far: The exhibition “Curious Minds” was organised by NABK and Vividha Trust to honour the curiosity of children with blindness and special needs. The goal of Curious Minds is to demonstrate how visually impaired people may study and be taught STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) subjects.
- For the most part, educational institutions struggle to teach science and math to visually impaired students.
- As a result, when these children finish school, they will be at a disadvantage.
Accessible materials required: In order to help visually impaired children develop holistically, Vividha Trust prepares them for academic and social integration in mainstream schools. Although there are accessible materials for them to use, it is still a problem to help visually impaired children studying STEM courses.
