The event began with an introduction to Vision Empower and the Cognizant Foundation-supported project. The importance of tactile aids in STEM education was explained, followed by instructions and samples of the tactile designs. Volunteers then created 14 tactile coconut trees and 16 tactile octopuses.

The session was marked by creativity and teamwork. Both the CEO and the volunteers found the experience meaningful and enjoyable.
