Our learners at Wesley School for the Hearing Impaired showcase smart communication gloves designed to improve accessibility and communication within the deaf community through assistive technology and STEM innovation.

Students from Wesley School (1) For the Deaf demonstrate a smart communication glove prototype developed to support communication within the deaf community through assistive technology and STEM innovation.

The wearable glove system combines Arduino, push buttons, jumper wires, and an LCD screen to translate hand and finger movements into readable text. When users make sign movements with their fingers, the push buttons detect the motion and send signals to the Arduino system, which processes the input and displays the translated message on the LCD screen.

Through this hands-on assistive technology and STEM project, learners explored coding, automation, engineering, sensor systems, and robotics while developing innovative solutions that improve accessibility and communication for hearing-impaired individuals.

The project also highlights the importance of inclusive STEM education and supports Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) focused on Quality Education, Reduced Inequalities, and Industry Innovation.
