Subject: [NFB-Science] Topic Specific Call for Speakers for A Phone
Conference on How Students Can Do Science, Technology, Engineering, and
Mathematics (STEM)

Folks,

I made a request for speakers for the NFB Science and Engineering division /
National Association of Blind Students STEM phone conference which will take
place during the evening of Sunday, February 24, 2019.  The full text of
that announcement is below my signature.

I am looking for a couple of speakers who are willing to discuss:
the sources of accessible classroom materials
(
What materials are used in a class room and lab?
How do you get books?
Are electronic STEM books available?
What is the role of the student and DSS office in the effort to get
accessible materials?
How far ahead should you work on obtaining accessible class room material?
)

If you are interested in giving an approximately ten-minute STEM-related
talk, please contact Louis Maher (713-444-7838,
ljmaher03 at outlook.com<mailto:ljmaher03 at outlook.com>) with your topic.
