Navigating the world with White Canes

Published: Oct. 1, 2024, 8 a.m.

People who are blind or have low vision use different tools to navigate the world. One of the most common is called a white cane. White canes are long, thin, and lightweight with a handle on one end and a special tip on the other.

Join Molly and co-host Jaden as they explore how white canes work. They\u2019ll log into an interactive game called Cane Quest 3000 where they'll use white canes to move through a fantastical world and capture a bunch of tiny, yodeling aliens! Then they\u2019ll link up with\xa0Brains On\xa0fan Phoenix to chat about what it\u2019s like to use white canes on the day-to-day. All that, plus a puzzler of a mystery sound!
