The workshop, titled "Make a Picture for Your Fingertips," will allow kids to

paper and materials to create an instant touch picture to take home. Children 
must be accompanied by an adult. Space is limited. Participants must register 
by tomorrow.

Kids will also be able to explore the museum's collection of maps, globes, 
books and other educational aids developed for the blind and visually impaired. 
They will be able to practice writing in Braille, see the first book embossed 
for blind readers, play a computer game designed for blind students and more.
