Dear Frank,

I am thrilled to share that my recent trip to China exceeded every expectation.

For several days, I worked side-by-side with our manufacturing partners, packaging specialists, and master mold makers as we prepared for the next generation of BrailleDoodle. The experience gave us the opportunity to strengthen relationships, review every aspect of production, and ensure that quality remains at the heart of everything we do.

One of the highlights of the trip was selecting a new premium carrying case and packaging design that will better protect BrailleDoodle during shipping while also providing families, educators, and students with a durable storage solution.

We also spent considerable time reviewing the molds and internal design of the BrailleDoodle. Together with our manufacturing team and U.S. engineers, we identified several small but important improvements that will make the next generation of BrailleDoodles even more durable, reliable, and enjoyable to use.

What impressed me most was the incredible attention to detail and craftsmanship of our manufacturing partners. Their commitment to quality was evident in every meeting, every prototype, and every conversation.

If all continues according to plan, I will return to China later this year to personally inspect the final "golden samples" before production begins.

Perhaps the most exciting news of all is this:

Since May, more than 2,000 BrailleDoodles from our upcoming production run have already been reserved by distributors, schools, and organizations around the world—months before the first unit ships.

The global excitement around BrailleDoodle continues to grow, and we could not be more grateful.

Thank you for your patience, your encouragement, and your belief in our mission to increase braille literacy, STEM learning, tactile art, and accessibility for learners around the world.

Together, we're building something truly special.
