"Ik & Rik" ("Me and Rick") is an educational program teaching spatial concepts to young children who are blind in a playful way.
Braille Box letters and numbers is a complete (3D printed) braille letter box that gives braille readers the same opportunities in the reading and spelling process as sighted children.
The 3 D print files of the jumbo braille block are publicly available on the tactiles.eu platform. You can find them using this link: https://tactiles.eu/3d-model/jumbo-braille-cell-blocks-1-5-including-pins/
