Save the Date!



Independence Science is announcing the 11th annual Inclusion in Science,
Learning A New Direction (ISLAND) Conference on Disability is just around
the corner. It will be held virtually on Saturday, September 12, 2020 from
9:00 AM to 5:30 PM Eastern time. Registration is free by September 1. Go
to: www.islandconference.org to register and see the schedule of
presentations. A Zoom link will be provided to all registered conference
participants on Friday, September 11, 2020. Since we will be using the Zoom
platform, questions will be handled by placing comments in the chat, or by
using the raise hand command, “Alt Y”) to take questions. The moderator
will unmute you when you are called upon to ask your question. Note, most
presentations will be recorded, so by raising your hand, you are consenting
to be recorded. If you would prefer to use the chat, the moderator will
address these questions as time permits.

The ISLAND conference serves as a forum for access technology developers,
science educators, rehabilitation professionals, and educational
researchers to network and share their experiences with how they have
promoted the inclusion of persons with disabilities into Science,
Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields of study. Come and
learn what is being done to promote inclusion in the STEM classroom for
students with disabilities. If you have any questions, please feel free to
e-mail the conference organizers at island at princeton.edu



The 11th annual ISLAND conference is sponsored in part by Princeton
University Office of Technology, Princeton Center for Complex Materials,
and Independence Science.
