Arbeitsauftrag/Zielsetzung

Build a map of the surroundings of your school including aids for vision impaired people and navigate through the construction with a robotic device.

Projektbeschreibung

Our project aimed to help students understand and improve navigation for visually impaired people. Inspired by the challenges they face daily, we designed an activity to raise awareness and teach practical skills.


Initially, we planned to use a laser cutter to make a wooden model of the surroundings , but due to limited resources, we drew the map on a large sheet of paper instead. We used the Sphero Mini, a small robotic device, to navigate the map.


In the school setting students would be asked to guide the Sphero Mini along paths representing routes taken by visually impaired people. When we found that programming the device was too complex, we switched to using a remote control, which made the activity more engaging.


This hands-on project can help students to learn about the challenges of navigation for the visually impaired and the importance of inclusive design. It also provided a fun and interactive way to develop skills in map-making and problem-solving.

Erfahrungsbericht

Working on this project was a great learning experience for us. We wanted to help students understand how visually impaired people navigate their surroundings. We started with the idea of creating a 3D model but changed to a paper map due to time and resource limits. Using the Sphero Mini robot, we showed how navigation paths can be created and followed. Although we faced challenges with the robot's programming, switching to remote control made the activity fun and engaging. This project taught us about the importance of inclusive design and gave us a chance to develop practical skills in a meaningful way.
