ACCESSIBLE ASTRONOMY WORKSHOPS |
You Can Do Astronomy LLC can bring accessible astronomy workshops to your conference or school!
We will show you how to make astronomy and earth science concepts accessible to students who are blind or visually impaired. These techniques are great for sighted students with variety of learning styles!
Participants will leave with clever strategies and hands-on materials that can be immediately used in the classroom.
Our one-day workshop covers these topics:
The Seasons
Phases of the Moon
Star Patterns
The Scale of the Solar System
Please inquire for other topics.
