In this episode, we feature Caroline Karbowski, recommended by the National Federation of the Blind of Ohio. Caroline discusses the significance of Braille literacy and technology in advocating for individuals with disabilities, emphasizing accessibility in education and community engagement. Her passion for braille began in middle school, leading her to connect with the blind community in Ohio. She has been involved in outreach programs like STEM2U, which engages students who are blind or have low vision in hands-on science activities and interactions with role models. Caroline also highlights the impact of 3D printing in creating tailored educational materials for students who are blind. Throughout the episode, she shares valuable partnerships and initiatives that promote inclusivity in scientific fields and underscores the importance of collaboration in her work as the CEO of the nonprofit, See3D, and an Orientation & Mobility Specialist at Perkins School for the Blind.
