The Lego Foundation has announced a new project that will replace the usual knobs atop Lego’s iconic toy bricks with Braille dots. The blocks will also be stamped with the corresponding written letter, number or punctuation symbol, making them accessible to blind and sighted children alike. The project, called Lego Braille Bricks, is in a pilot phase and is expected to be released in partnership with schools and associations for the blind in 2020.
