Do it yourself!
Do it yourself
Scratch Tactile is an open source resource that we encourage you to create yourself or ask for help from a hobbyist friend or a local makerspace!
Scratch Tactile has been designed following the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework, to be useful and fun to the maximum number of diverse learners.
You will find all the open designs to create your own Scratch Tactile below.
Blocks and boards
The first and most important thing is to have the blocks and boards. You can create them with these designs, both with 3D and 2D technologies.
Basic elements
Characters bring your stories to life! In addition to the tangible elements or the mask, which we recommend you use in the activities, here you can find the designs of the main elements to print in 3D:

Manufacturing Guide
Discover how to make Scratch Tactile and transform the way you interact with technology! You can build your own kit quickly and easily with the step-by-step guide, opening the doors to a world full of possibilities in tactile interaction.
No matter what your level of experience, this exciting project will inspire you to unleash your creativity and innovation. It's the perfect time to let your imagination run wild and take your ideas to new heights!
Find a space
If you want to create the Scratch Tactile kit, you can request support from a nearby makerspace or FabLab. We encourage you to search for one in these directories (or ask local schools, colleges, and individuals):

We've also created a map of Makerspaces around Barcelona-Catalunya (a region in northeast Spain), which will continue to expand with more regions. If you know of any makerspaces you'd like to add to this map, please contact us. If you create the kit, please contact us, and we'll add your school or the makerspace that helped you to this map:
