On 11th December, 2024, Intern Design Instructor (2024/25), Gala Cervera went to Laboratory Secondary School, Kirtipur with the project members from computer team, IT and Creative Specialist, Joon Shakya and our Co-founder and Treasurer, Sanjiya Shrestha to carry out a workshop featuring the 3D Fraction Model, Chemical Reaction and Modular Stylus. The session was designed to help students with visual disabilities grasp basic concepts about fraction and some common chemical equations. The participants were also given a 3D modular stylus to gather their experience and choice of selecting a fitting shape or style to write.

To assess the learning growth of the participants and effectiveness of the 3D models, we use different modality of administrating pre and post tests. The positive feedback affirmed the effectiveness of the 3D models in creating an inclusive and engaging learning environment, further supporting their potential to enhance accessible education.
