Protecting the environment while minimizing exclusion in society. BTR strives to elevate people's lives in addition to preserving the environment, hence why this project came to life. When volunteering at the Educational Technology Center for the Blind in Thailand, the director expressed the scarcity of resources for the visually impaired, spurring BTR to assist with creating an educational resource that could also be used in recreation. After partnering with Incamtec and Fab Lab Siam, BTR was able to produce "braille dominos" which were made by 3D printing using recycled plastic bottles that were melted and reshaped into a filament. Moreover, the dominos contained both braille alphabet and English alphabet, allowing visually impaired kids to interact with the English alphabet, making them feel less different from their peers. It also enables both visually impaired kids and sighted kids to be able to play together, as the dominos contained the alphabet for both groups.Braille DoMinos
