>Are you interested in a career in science, technology, engineering or
>mathematics? As a student who is blind have you had difficulty

>As a teacher, do you find it difficult to translate science experiments
>and mathematical language into something that is meaningful for blind
>students?

>Join Seminars at Hadley as Dr. Cary Supalo and Mr. Mick Isaacson discuss
>the importance of a hands-on science learning experience for the blind
>as well as rules for speaking mathematics in a way that it can be easily
>learned. Learn about cutting edge tools and rules that empower students
>and teachers to make math and science easier, more accessible, and more
>interesting.

>This 60 minute seminar will be moderated by Billy Brookshire, Hadley
>Outreach coordinator. A question and answer session will be included as
>part of the seminar.
