The image shows a magazine spread about "Technology for Independence at New College Worcester," which is from a Design & Technology Association publication from Spring 2025. The article showcases how New College Worcester, a school for blind and vision-impaired students aged 11 to 19, is implementing innovative technologies to support student independence. The spread includes several photographs of students engaged in practical activities in what appears to be kitchen and classroom settings. The text describes how the school blends traditional tools like Braille with advanced technology such as 3D printing and Bluetooth-enabled devices to foster independence in cooking, mobility, and hands-on experimentation. It mentions specific adaptations like talking scales and digital calipers that help students build essential skills and achieve greater self-sufficiency.The right side of the spread includes sections on adaptations, practical measurements (including steps for measuring wire thickness using Bluetooth calipers), and information about the school's approach to teaching practical skills despite visual impairments. There's also a QR code linking to what appears to be the New College Worcester app or website.
📰 Honoured to feature in the Braille 200 edition of Designing magazine (Spring 2025), by the Design and Technology Association!
Celebrating innovation, inclusion & accessibility in design.
