Our September chapter meeting will be Saturday the 23rd starting at 11:00 AM.  WE will be having a guest speaker (Dr. Henry Winter ) joining us to discuss and showing a demonstration on the eclipse soundscape Project.  Details below.

 

The Eclipse Soundscapes Project is a NASA Citizen Science Project that will study how eclipses affect life on Earth. Through a partnership with NFB, Eclipse Soundscapes was created with accessibility in mind and a special focus on the inclusion of people who are blind or low vision. It is our goal to create a project that invites members of the sighted, blind, and low vision communities to participate alongside one another. We will be collecting sensory observations and sound data from the October 14, 2023 annular eclipse, which will take place in Utah! We hope some of you will be interested in participating with one of the  

Eclipse Soundscapes Data Collector Kits.  Kits will be limited and will be handed out during the chapter meeting.  Here is the link to the website with more details:
