[blindkid] Summer Science Spectacular in Michigan

[Lydia Anne Schuck via blindkid]

Hello listfriends, especially those living in or near Michigan, 
I am posting this announcement of an annual summer science program. Please encourage middle and high school students to take advantage of this opportunity.
****************************************************************************************************************

Come join us July 28 through August 1 at the wonderful University of Michigan - Dearborn Environmental Interpretive Center for a time of learning and fun at our Summer Science Spectacular.

This will be an immersion in science learning and fun.  We will explore such topics as the physics of tandem bicycling, watersheds, urban ecology, the physics of baseball and much, much more.

All activities will be totally accessible for blind and visually impaired learners and will feature successful blind scientist role models.  We will use skills of blindness to participate in scientific experiments, data gathering and documentation.

So bring your curiosity, your thinking caps and be prepared to have fun with blind and visually impaired future scientists from all around Michigan.

For information on the application process and costs contact Fred Wurtzel at f.wurtzel at att.net or call 517-256-5575.  Visit our
website at nfbmi.org/science for updates and more information.
