Abstract
Dedoscopio have developed outreach activities focused on people with visual disabilities since 2018 in Chile. The initiative uses homemade low-cost tactile materials as a medium to represent astronomical concepts and physical phenomena. During the quarantine time, we started a Audio-Reading Club with blind and visually impaired children from two parts of Chile. It was such a success that it crossed the borders and we were able to reach Bolivian children.
