A prototype educational device for Braille (B.E.D.) that features a 3D-printed casing and servo motors controlled by a Raspberry Pi Pico. The design allows the servos to rise and fall, forming the corresponding Braille characters. The primary goal was to create a cost-effective and easy-to-implement solution for Braille education. The project was submitted and placed 1st at the 2023 Tech Olympics. Local 12 covered the event.
