[Blindmath] 3D printing used as a tool to explain theoretical physics

[Littlefield, Tyler]

We are actually working on this at Wentworth. We started by modeling a 
basic graph, then moved to adding braille labels to it. what we have so 
far is a really cool version of a nice graph. I am hoping to be able to 
extend this with more research next semester.

I've gotten braille labeling outputted on models and am now looking at different topics to try out.  Seems like a perfectly good time to ask the list what do you wish you had a model of when you were learning science in school?  Look forward to the conversation!
