Braille
Braille is a system of writing that uses raised dots on paper. You can read Braille by moving
your fingertips over the raised dots. The system was created in 1824 by Louis Braille (who was
also blind) when he was just 15 years old! Look for Braille near the buttons of some elevators
and in other public places.
I'd like to decode a sentence in Braille!
