[NFBMO] Technology Seminar

[david hertweck]

First a technology seminar is a super idea

What about some STEM topics a few ideas follow.

1. basic electronics learning using snap circuts quick intro as to  how they 
can be used
2. non visual technolgy for learning math
3. Entro to rasperry pi and how blind hobbyists are making it accessable.
4. intro / overview to how blind people are making inroads into STEM (NFB in 
STEM)




Think your technolgy

Looks like a good list. I think if we send out registration forms we could
ask people to mark the 3 or 4 things they are most interested in and then
determine if somethings should have more than one session. It also depends
on how in depth, how complicated, and how one on one a particular
item/subject would be.
