Hi all,
	
I am working on a project to enhance access to maths and science for middle
and high school students in India.  One of the suggestions that was given
was to create model labs so that educators, students, parents etc.  alike
could come, see what is available and equip their labs accordingly.  At the
moment, the project is focusing primarily on the blind.  

What equipment would one need to make a science lab accessible?  For
instance, in a physics lab, I can think of having a talking multimeter.
Similarly, in a chemistry lab, I can think of having light probes and
talking colour detectores. Has anyone tried something like this?  What
equipment should I get to create such a model lab?  I am willing to split
the labs into physics, chemistry and biology.  

Anyone any thoughts?
Pranav
