Teaching labs for blind students: equipment to measure the thermal expansion coefficient of a metal. A case of study


Abstract in English

We design a Teaching laboratory experience for blind students, to measure the linear thermal expansion coefficient of an object. We use an open-source electronic prototyping platform to create interactive electronic objects, with the conversion of visual signals into acoustic signals that allow a blind student to participate at the same time as their classmates in the laboratory session. For the student it was the first time he managed to participate normally in a physics laboratory.
