Change the World
Innovations that opened the world for millions
Change the World illuminates the power of people, touch, and braille to advance equity from the six raised dots that changed the course of literacy to the digital tools reshaping access today.
Explore the evolution of braille from its earliest rivals to meeting a life-size representation of Louis Braille himself. Try your hand at the tools and technologies that have made tactile learning possible, from slates and styluses to braillewriters, talking books, magnifiers, and LEGOs.
Discover how breakthroughs in literacy, technology, and design have expanded independence for millions of people who are blind or low vision—and what’s on the horizon for tomorrow’s innovations.
The focus is not just on how far we’ve come. It’s about imagining what’s next, and the future we’re all responsible for building.
