The Vladimir Komarov’s 199th Public School of Physics-Mathematics Engineering Circle students of Tbilisi held a presentation of an innovative device at the Public School for Blind and Short-sighted Pupils in Tbilisi.
The Ministry of Education, Science, and Youth of Georgia shared the glimpses of the presentation on its official Facebook page on Monday, December 8, 2025. The Georgian Ministry also shared a small note about the presentation, along with its glimpses.
As part of the event, students also interacted with visually impaired pupils to better understand their daily challenges, ensuring that the device was not only technologically advanced but also user-friendly and practical for real-life use. This hands-on communication helped the young innovators refine their design approach and gain valuable insights into inclusive technology.
The pupils of Komarov introduced the help desk-organizer “Lucy”, created for the blind, to the Deputy Minister of Education, Science and Youth, Tamar Makharashvili, and representatives of the school community.
At the presentation, Tamar Makharashvili spoke about the importance of implementing innovative technologies in the learning process and developing an inclusive environment. According to him, the project is another successful example of how young people can solve real social challenges using technology.
Lucy is making it easy for the blind to use accessories like plates, knives, forks, and more to eat on their own in public dining rooms. The desk-organizer is equipped with both a sound system and a braille font. The customer can name the item they need, then the device will automatically rotate, and the item will be located in the desk organizer’s cover, from which it can be picked up. Blind people can use “Lucy” with the help of Braille.
An innovative project created by young people is one of the finalists of the competition “Leonardo da Vinci”; a student of the National Scientific Foundation, Shota Rustaveli, is among the finalists of 2025 in the competition for inventors and researchers.
