Tactile Universe have been selected as the Falling Walls Science Engagement Breakthrough of the Year 2020! We're really thankful, and this has been such a great experience. We can't wait to see what future friendships and collaborations evolve from being a part of @Fallin_Walls




This week Portsmouth Cosmology's annual #PompeyStargazing event is going virtual! We can't meet you in person this year, so Tactile Universe are offering interested VI people a virtual mini workshop on galaxies. Places are limited, so contact [email protected] to find out more.


How to foster more #inclusion for #peoplewithdisabilities in STEM? We talked to Sheryl Burgstahler DO-IT & astronomer Nicolas Bonne about #accessibility and creative differences✨🎧👉🏼bit.ly/2Nb4xSX Tactile Universe University of Portsmouth UW College of Education #FallingWallsEngage




Great to have Dr Nic Bonne and Dr Coleman Krawczyk from the Tactile Universe project speaking with Cardiff Uni Physics about their tactile graphics as a tool for making astronomy accessible to the blind and vision-impaired community.



Today the Tactile Universe team CoffeeSamurai, Dr Jen Gupta & Coleman Krawczyk are heading to Wales to run a presenter training workshop hosted by Cardiff Uni Physics. Looking forward to sharing our resources with local educators, science communicators & researchers

Today the Tactile Universe team travelled to Glasgow to train the amazing researchers from UofG Institute for Gravitational Research to use our new gravitational wave themed accessible resources. We've left a resource kit with them and we can't wait to see how they use it

Had a wonderful day today visiting the gravitational wave research group at Cardiff Uni Physics to share our new Tactile Universe resources
