Textual description of persona 2

Eric

Age: 30
Learning Style: Tactile
Electronics Experience: Intermediate
Identity: Blind
Braille Proficiency: Fluent

Quote: “I want to make IT (information technology) happen for my community and myself.”

Goals: Teach electronics nonvisually to community; learn through touch.

Frustrations: Limited to explaining circuits through description. Some circuits are difficult to explain.

Bio: Eric runs an Arduino club in New York and they love introducing other blind people to electronics and making. They often run into access barriers when teaching and feel that their students are missing out on material that could be easier to learn through touch. They want to provide more options to their students.
