Talk at the BIG event 2017 by Dr Jen Gupta (with Dr Marieke Navin and Dr Robert Appleby)
Particle physicists and astronomers have embarked upon two innovative projects to reach a Visually Impaired (VI) audience with the latest astronomy, astrophysics, cosmology (Tactile Universe); particle physics and accelerator (Tactile Collider) research in the UK, making these traditionally visual areas of research more accessible, using a wide variety of tactile and aural methods. Try out the activitirs for yourself with blindfolds on. Hear about what we have learned along the way, and about our next steps to engage with this typically hard to reach audience.
