A 13-year-old American has made a cheap machine that can help blind people read. People who cannot see can read using Braille – a system small bumps that people touch to read the letters. Machines that make these small bumps words, sentences and paragraphs are very expensive. They are called Braille embossers and usually cost least $2,000. The American teenager, Shubham Banerjee, made a new Braille embosser a Lego kit that lets people create robots. It costs just $350. Banerjee has called his new device the Braigo – a combination the words Braille and Lego. It works translating electronic text Braille and then printing it using a computer or mobile device.

Banerjee designed his Braigo last year a school science fair. Since then, he has caught the interest Silicon Valley the USA. The technology giant Intel invested Banerjee's machine last November, but they did not say how much money they put . Banerjee also got $35,000 his father to help him start the project. His father works as a computer engineer Intel. He spoke his why he gave so much money his son, saying: "We as parents started to get involved more, thinking that he's to something and this innovation process has to continue." Banerjee told the AP news agency that: "My end goal would probably be having most the blind people...using my Braille printer."
