A California seventh grader has built a low-cost Braille printer out of LEGOs, reports the New York Daily News.
Shubham Banerjee, 12, used a $350 LEGO Mindstorms set, modifying a robot model to make a “Braigo” printer. Basic Braille printers retail for about $2,000 online.
“This is so easy, even my little sister can do it,” Shubham says in a YouTube video.
When his family received an appeal to help the blind, Banerjee decided to get creative. He plans to be an engineer, scientist or surgeon.
