Session Dates

Friday March 29, 2019 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM - PaTTAN - EAST

Closed

This session will combine topics of computer aided design (CAD) design and 3D printing with the needs and demands of professionals in field of visual impairments and deaf-blindness. The design process and considerations will be reviewed to establish a foundational understanding of incremental design, rapid prototyping, and additive manufacturing. This foundation will be applied to the needs for access to educational and learning models. The process and needs will then be paired to outline considerations necessary to 3D models for tactile exploration.

 

Individuals attending this course must arrive on time and stay the duration of the course in order to receive Act 48 Professional Education hours.  Requests for exceptions are to be brought to the attention of the individual's Superintendent or IU Director prior to the course.
