Easter egg hunt features beeping plastic eggs
April 11th, 2009
From the Colorado Springs Gazette:
The Qwest Pioneers, a volunteer group of Qwest employees, hosted an adaptive Easter egg hunt at the Colorado School for the Deaf and Blind this week that featured a technological innovation for those with visual impairments — audible plastic eggs.
The handmade eggs were based on a 1964 invention of a beeping softball that was created so blind people could play.
Deaf students competed to find brightly colored eggs. Similar egg hunts were hosted in Denver, Grand Junction and other areas in which Qwest provides service.
