About this product

What is FIRST Tech Challenge

FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) is a robotics competition and education program for students. Teams design, build, and program robots to compete in an annual game. Traditional FTC relies heavily on visual materials, screens, and printed diagrams.

Problem for blind students

For blind and low-vision students, traditional robotics learning creates barriers: visual manuals, on-screen code, and diagrams are not accessible. Tactil's Tactile Ecosystem is built to solve this.

How Tactile Ecosystem solves it

The Tactile Ecosystem combines a Braille book (Read), an audiobook and box audio guide (Hear), and a tactile box with fixed cell layout (Touch). Together they deliver the same curriculum in accessible formats so every student can participate.
