Hi everyone! Let's talk DIY accessible astronomy!
I personally love DIY projects, especially when they are STEM-focused (particularly astronomy). There are so many online resources that provide a wide range of projects and tools to the public for free.
Provided below is a list of a few websites I like to browse when looking for a fun, educational activity.

Now, the question is: how can we make exploring the cosmos more hands-on and accessible for blind and low-vision (BLV) stargazers through DIY projects?
Whether it’s 3D-printed maps or tactile star charts, I’d love to hear your ideas, experiences, or favourite DIY tools for multi-sensory astronomy.
