I came across lego braille bricks which launched on 1st Sept 2023, just in time for World Blind Awareness Month in October.

I find this to be a remarkable product.

So, let's see what sets it apart.
👇👇👇

problem it solves is that children with visual impairments often struggle to learn Braille due to the inability to see raised dots. Braille Bricks make it easier for them to learn braille by providing them with a tactile way to feel the dots.

🧩market for educational toys could reach a whopping USD 45.9 billion by 2028, growing about 6.6% each year from 2021. People of all ages, from little kids to adults, are part of this trend but toddlers make up the biggest part of this market.
🔍 According to The World Health Organization, there are about 253 million visually impaired people and 16% of them are kids. This number might grow to 531 million by 2050.
