[Cabs] High School & College Students will learn to solder

[Pipi Adams]

>> Can a blind person solder electronic components?  It's  a handy skill
>> for those interested in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math
>> (STEM) areas.
>> 
>> One blind Physics student knows that it can be done, and what's more
>> she's ready to teach more blind students, 16 and older how to do it!
>> 
>> Help us find a few more blind/VI high school students to participate
>> in the BLAST program to teach blind youth to solder electronic
>> instruments.
>> 
>> Jamie Principato, a blind student at CU-Boulder in Physics, has a
>> grant to do this.  And it will be happening at the Colorado Center for
>> the Blind on August 10, beginning at 9 a.m. and lasting into the early
>> afternoon.  Lunch will be provided.

>> Jamie was featured in this Denver Post article, talking about her program:

>> 
>> Students need to be 16 years or older to participate.  They will learn
>> the techniques that Jamie has developed for her own science and
>> technology endeavors.  This can be an important step for blind and
>> visually impaired youth to realize that they can be actively involved
>> in  STEM activities, not simply observers!
