Students. Parents. Teachers. There’s Something for Everyone!

The National Federation of the Blind believes in every blind person’s capacity to live the life they want. Our extensive education programs present blind students with new ideas, expose teachers and families to our positive philosophy on blindness, and encourage blind youth to dream big. Here is a glimpse of upcoming programs for students, parents, and teachers.
Spring/Summer 2024: NFB STEM2U

Did you know a spectroscopist (“spek-TRAH-ska-pist") uses the James Webb Telescope to study our universe? They can study things far away like stars, galaxies, and nebulas. This year at NFB STEM2Uin fifteen locations around the countrywe will become spectroscopists. We’ll build models of “the Webb”, learn about the Earth’s atmosphere, discover why the Webb was sent to space, and explore how it studies space. We invite blind and low-vision students to learn more andregister<https://u32452178.ct.sendgrid.net/ls/click?upn=u001.dPovOk22q531-2BRJhKyInEEcJb2poLs3yz-2F789HG368MRdxOYnKN2xL5f7-2B8gp5GiNMBpikuUaCZtPVnXjHY-2FBkOi4bFuVgG49IKBibwGajg-3DsziT_6jt2oxHq4YQYlkEhlLcX6RHWrR71uBc-2Fzvzm2F2EPtg-2FHqLVEB5w-2B6nh1hh2DMjGW6aKz-2FwOGHe1SXYlS5OVduPRFQ4EoYcLbYmcOVy42BwaGofahVpEu4HlbfxAdsZ5RW-2B0hhX63syNY7syO4pBsQKqyWXK57hs-2BFZdL-2FqT9cdHfcdZcpVMdm0ekBlFfTB5ACAu8T3YV-2Bb39f8z-2F2GWlG4hMREDqJDadclAGGJJqCY-3D>.
