Tactile Technologies
Tactile Technologies is a curriculum product that introduces learners to 3D printing technologies and accessibility principles. Modules and interactive, in-person workshops help learners gain the skills needed to transform visual media into a 3D learning experience.
Participants choose their media (usually a children's book), adapt the story into 3D, design/edit 3D models, and create a tactile product. Tactile Technologies updated an aging curriculum and offered a new, project-based learning experience for practicing accessibility in educational environments.
SHANNON BUTTS
Teaching
As an instructor, I am dedicated to helping people achieve academic, professional, and personal success. I believe educational experiences should empower learners and build connections between communities. Through classroom activities, public projects, and learning experience design, I create educational opportunities for people to discover their own voices and better understand how reading and writing shape our interactions with the world.
