Lego Braille bricks 'let me play with grandkids'

post-image
Jackie Brown, 61, was born blind, and has been building Lego models since the age of seven.

Lego's Braille bricks launched in 2020, though were only tested in certain schools and organisations.

Now that they are available to the public, Mrs Brown said she can "sit down and play with my grandchildren".

The bricks are designed to help blind children and people with sight loss learn to read letters and numbers by touch.
