Blind Pioneers focusses on how to educate blind and visually impaired students. It showcases students using the latest techniques and technology. Students are given a voice about how they learn best and give advice on how they like to access materials and participate in activities. With everything from legal articles, to how-to videos and creative reflections- Blind Pioneers demystifies blindness.
