• Resumen

  • A brief overview of the 2007 National Federation of the Blind–Jernigan Institute Youth Slam Chemistry Track, a course of study within a science camp that provided firsthand experimental experience to 200 students who are blind and low-vision, is given. For many of these students, this was their first hands-on experience with laboratory chemistry. Several new blind and low vision-accessible laboratory technologies were successfully debuted. These tools and techniques bring a greater degree of freedom and independence to students with visual impairments in their science classes. Modifications of standard chemistry experiments that incorporated these new tools are described.
