Product Description

The Smart Walking Shoes for Blind is an innovative science project kit designed to help students and makers build a wearable assistive device that enhances mobility for visually impaired users. By integrating ultrasonic sensors with an Arduino microcontroller, this project detects nearby obstacles and provides alerts through a buzzer or vibration feedback, helping a user sense barriers ahead.

This kit is ideal for STEM learning, school and college exhibitions, science fairs, and assistive technology demonstrations. It encourages hands-on learning in electronics, programming, sensors, and wearable robotics, while highlighting real-world problem solving. With clear component lists, code examples, and assembly guidance, learners can quickly prototype and test a functional model that demonstrates practical assistive technology.
