Last summer I saw Build a Better Book's poster session at ISTE18. They were harnessing the makerspace movement to make books accessible to visually impaired. Their ideas were filled with empathy and creativity. It planted a seed in my mind that is now just taking shape. In March I wrote and received a Donor's Choose grant for twelve 3Doodlers for our art room.

4. Keep building up the design until the lines connect and become stable
5. Lift the drawing from the sheet and tuck it into the sheet protector to store it
Results after 1st time using at 3Doodlers
