Hello,

I hope that you are doing well.

Thank you to members of the Blind Community who have made donations to the = NFB STEM scholarship in prior years.

The blind STEM community is a small but growing community. I am personally = proud and humbled that individuals of this community have been able to rais= e over $5000 per year for the last several years.

In 2025 we have raised over $2700.

We are off to a good start.

I want to share with you an audio file that showcases some of the work bein= g done by blind scientists.
The Science Division and NABS did a joint presentation on STEM on Jan 26 20= 25. Here is an audio link to the MP3 files: https://tinyurl.com/NFB-Science= -Engineering In the presentation we heard from two blind scientists.
Kevin Currin spoke on Data Analysis Using Rmarkdown and Ned Lindholm spoke = on Adapting Experimental Chemistry using Secondary Methods

The Science and Engineering Division and the Computer Science Division are = raising funds for a $8000 "Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics" =
(STEM) scholarship given by the NFB, to a worthy student at the NFB convent= ion. In 2024, we were able to raise $5,000 for this scholarship and awarded=  a scholarship to a blind student.
