A 13-year-old American has made a cheap machine that can help blind people read. People who cannot see can read aboutatbyforfrominintoofonto using Braille – a system aboutatbyforfrominintoofonto small bumps that people touch to read the letters. Machines that make these small bumps aboutatbyforfrominintoofonto words, sentences and paragraphs are very expensive. They are called Braille embossers and usually cost aboutatbyforfrominintoofonto least $2,000. The American teenager, Shubham Banerjee, made a new Braille embosser aboutatbyforfrominintoofonto a Lego kit that lets people create robots. It costs just $350. Banerjee has called his new device the Braigo – a combination aboutatbyforfrominintoofonto the words Braille and Lego. It works aboutatbyforfrominintoofonto translating electronic text aboutatbyforfrominintoofonto Braille and then printing it using a computer or mobile device.

Banerjee designed his Braigo last year aboutatbyforfrominintoofonto a school science fair. Since then, he has caught the interest aboutatbyforfrominintoofonto Silicon Valley aboutatbyforfrominintoofonto the USA. The technology giant Intel invested aboutatbyforfrominintoofonto Banerjee's machine last November, but they did not say how much money they put aboutatbyforfrominintoofonto. Banerjee also got $35,000 aboutatbyforfrominintoofonto his father to help him start the project. His father works as a computer engineer aboutatbyforfrominintoofonto Intel. He spoke aboutatbyforfrominintoofonto his why he gave so much money aboutatbyforfrominintoofonto his son, saying: "We as parents started to get involved more, thinking that he's aboutatbyforfrominintoofonto to something and this innovation process has to continue." Banerjee told the AP news agency that: "My end goal would probably be having most aboutatbyforfrominintoofonto the blind people...using my Braille printer."
