“Making astrophysics accessible to visually impaired people”

We are currently partnering with several organizations in the U.S. and Japan, including the University of Tsukuba Special Needs School, the University of Tsukuba, and the Hubble Observatory, to create novel events that can be enjoyed by both visually impaired individuals and those who are not.

Astronomy lecture for visually impaired students

An interactive lecture was held for visually impaired, second-year students at the University of Tsukuba Special Needs High School. The aim was to deepen their understanding of astronomy in a non-visual way, to share the excitement of scientific investigation, and to stimulate their interest in pursuing higher education.

Inclusive planetarium

In collaboration with the Sendai Astronomical Observatory and advisor Dr. Yoichi Ochiai from the University of Tsukuba, we are currently developing a next-generation planetarium that we hope will be a moving experience for all.
