AMUSING
(Adapting Museums for Educational Inclusive Goals)
Erasmus+ KA2 · 2019–2022 · Proyecto Completado
About the project:
AMUSING is an Erasmus+ KA2 project aimed at making museums more accessible and inclusive for people with visual impairment. The project combined formal and non-formal education, science, art and technology to explore how 3D printing and digital fabrication can transform the museum experience, making it genuinely accessible for everyone.
FabLab Cuenca's role:
FabLab Cuenca contributed its expertise in 3D scanning, design and digital fabrication — delivering training for the project partners and producing tactile pieces and adapted content. We also participated in educational activities with students, promoting service-learning as a key tool for inclusion.
