Tukii — Tangible Emotions
A social innovation project that laid the foundations for Wycro: blending technology, inclusion, and creativity to transform the learning experience for students with visual impairments.
Public recognition during the Bayer Young Community Innovators 2017 competition.
Tukii emerged in response to the shortage of accessible learning resources. More than 70% of knowledge is acquired visually; for students with vision loss that leaves barely 30% of learning opportunities.
We designed and built a portable robotic device that sketches shapes and patterns on the palm of the hand while narrating immersive stories complemented with sound effects. The result is a multi-sensory experience that strengthens abstract reasoning and emotional intelligence.

Inclusive classrooms in Ecuador usually lack tactile materials and specialist coaching for teachers. Tukii delivers a universal, customisable tool: educators download new stories and exercises through a companion mobile app, keeping the project sustainable over time.
Results: more than 120 students improved their spatial perception and autonomy. The initiative received seed funding and became the launchpad for Wycro’s focus on inclusive technology.
Engineer John Trujillo’s thesis explores the design and implementation of a cartesian robot capable of drawing tactile patterns on skin, validating its effectiveness as an inclusive educational resource.
