Accesible Micro:bit

The challenge

To facilitate access to the electronic world and programming for people with visual disabilities.

Who it helps

María has a visual impairment with 80% vision loss in her left eye and 24% in her right eye. María loves working with Arduino boards or microbits, but the problem is that they are not designed for people with her difficulties.

How it works

Now that the structure is bigger, it will facilitate people with visual disabilities to work with a micro bit.

Printing in 3D a structure similar to one of a microbit, but 4 times larger. Inside, there would be the original microbit connected with various wires through which electricity would pass, creating a more accessible copy
