Tactile Outer Space Facilitator

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