Help Needed: 9th Grade Physics

Dear ICE Community,

9th Grade Physics classes will spend Cycle 4 designing an electronic device to assist users with accessibility constraints in their daily lives. 

We are seeking speakers who have experience with accessibility concerns to provide insight to our community about common challenges that exist in their lives or in the lives of those they work with. We view this topic as very broad and would like as many perspectives and voices to participate as possible, so do not hesitate to ask if you would like further clarification.

If you or someone you know is interested and available to meet with the 9th grade from late February through mid May, please contact Sammi or have them contact her directly.

Thank you!
-Sammi and Daniel Z
