Created by Squirrel Devices
Caliper plus protective case: $18.00

Created and produced by Squirrel Devices, the Tactile Caliper eliminates the need to simplify geometry figures for instruction, improves access to geometry and other STEM subjects, and puts blind students at par with sighted peers. “I’m impressed with the potential impact this instrument possesses for improving a blind student’s ability to participate in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM),” says NBP board member and teacher of the visually impaired Janet Ulwick-Sacca.

The winner of our 2013 Touch of Genius Prize for Innovation, this mechanical instrument looks like a traditional Vernier Caliper. Whole inches are embossed in braille across the top of the ruler, while fractions are dynamically displayed in braille on a sliding jaw – as you move the jaw, the braille refreshes to the nearest 16th of an inch. The design is ingenious and captivating to witness in action. The Tactile Caliper, created and produced by Squirrel Devices, is available exclusively through NBP for $18.

Note: We have a limited supply right now, so order soon!
(We'll have plenty of calipers available by the end of June.)
