High Schooler Makes Affordable Braille Keyboard

A New Jersey teen built 3D-printed Braille keycaps to make keyboards affordable for the visually impaired.
A graphic featuring Dr. Marissa Ruff centered in the image, smiling at the camera. She is a white woman with straight brown hair, wearing a dark top and a gold necklace. Behind her is a blurred group photo of staff and a virtual meeting screen, suggesting a professional community setting. Large green text reads “DSP to VP” across the top, highlighting her career progression from Direct Support Professional to Vice President. On the left is a small inset photo of Dr. Ruff and colleagues holding certificates at an awards event. On the right is another inset photo of her holding an award in front of a purple backdrop that reads “Innovation & Impact.” At the bottom left, text reads “Dr. Marissa Ruff,” and at the bottom right, green text reads “Exclusive Interview.”
