Participants will be inspired by the story of Louis Braille, who was only twelve years old when he began work on the system of reading and writing that changed the lives of blind people all over the world. They'll also learn the basics of Louis's alphabet and practice writing on a braille slate and a braillewriter. Advanced students will learn more about braille contractions and whole word signs, as well as how to write music and do math with braille. Admission is free, but registration is required. Call 899-2213 or send email to kcarpenter@aph.org by August 4 to register. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
