    Description

    Tactile Outer Space Facilitator

    Tactile Outer Space Facilitator

    Our Tactile Outer Space table uses a variety of touchable 3-D printed materials to engage visitors with outer space. Originally designed to be an accessible activity for our blind and low vision guests, but anyone can enjoy these activities! Facilitators will help guests interpret the models, help guests access the Universe of Sound website via a tablet and assist in making pipe cleaner constellations.

    Training and background materials are provided.

    Tactile Outer Space Facilitators usually sit behind a table during their shift. Set up requires minimal lifting and carrying of materials.
