    I would say digital braille and a curriculum adapted to braille have been key in ensuring students with visual impairment are involved in STEM. Kilimanjaro Blind Trust Africa is one of the organizations involved in making sure the curriculum is adapted to the needs of visually impaired students as well as providing digital braille, the Orbit Reader 20.

    Innovative educational approaches and tools, in line with the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD), are being developed to empower students with visual impairments in STEM fields by ensuring accessible and inclusive learning environments, such as tactile graphics, screen readers, and 3D printing for enhanced tactile experiences.

    1. Accessible Coding Environments: There are coding platforms designed specifically for students with visual impairments. These platforms use auditory and tactile cues to make coding more accessible. For example, Tickle, based on Scratch, allows students to create programs through touch and sound.
    2. STEM Braille Notation: Braille notation systems have been developed specifically for STEM subjects, providing students with a standardized way to read and write STEM content in Braille. For example, the Nemeth Braille Code is used for mathematics and science notation.
