Join us in Melbourne, Sydney or Brisbane and get hands-on with LEGO® Braille Bricks.
LEGO® Braille Bricks are an educational tool designed by the LEGO® Foundation to support children and young people who are blind or have low vision, learn braille.
In April and May, Marc Angelier and Marie Oddoux, from the LEGO Foundation will be in Australia facilitating workshops for educators and service providers who have been using LEGO® Braille Bricks in the classroom or in their practice.
These workshops will build on your knowledge and understanding of the pedagogical concepts when using the LEGO® Braille Bricks to teach braille.
Don’t miss the opportunity to learn from the experts and share your experiences of using this new educational tool.
Two workshops are being offered and they are repeated on the second day: pre-braille activities and school-aged braille activities. You can attend one or both.
Attendance is offered both in-person or via Zoom webinar for all sessions. Limited spots are available for the in-person workshops, so register early to avoid any disappointment. Light refreshments will be provided at each in-person workshop.
For all in-person workshops, please RSVP by 22 April.
