About BrailleDoodle! - from The TouchPad Pro Foundation

Braille, STEM, Art and Fun for EVERYONE! The BrailleDoodle is an affordable, two-sided tablet for Braille learning and Tactile – Science, Math, and Art with a surface that refreshes repeatedly. It allows someone to write and create, feel as they go, and erase with ease. A Revolutionary Solution The BrailleDoodle uses magnets, metal beads, and Etch-a-Sketch-like technology to provide Braille literacy and tactile images. It features hundreds of tiny holes, each with a metal bead that can be raised to the surface using a magnetic stylus. When raised, the beads are securely locked in place for touching and can be erased with a push or sweep of the stylus. The Braille Side The BrailleDoodle is suitable for learners of all ages and skill levels. Providing an intuitive “no-fail” approach and based on proven, motivational, and multi-sensory teaching methods, anyone can learn to read and write Braille!
