Do it yourself!
Do it yourself
Scratch Tactile is an open source resource that we encourage you to create yourself or ask for help from a hobbyist friend or a nearby makerspace!
Scratch Tactile has been designed following the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework, to be useful and fun to the maximum number of diverse learners.
Below you will find all the open designs to create your own Scratch Tactile.
Blocks and boards
The first and most important thing is to have the blocks and boards. You can create them with these designs, both with 3D and 2D technologies.
Basic elements
Thanks to the characters, you will bring your stories to life! In addition to the tangible elements or the mask, which we recommend you use in the activities, here you can find the designs of the main elements to print in 3D:
