• Resumen

  • A science camp for blind or visually impaired (BVI) students, covering mainly hands-on chemistry experiments, is described. The scientific experiments are detailed, and the feedback of the students is recorded, highlighting the benefits of the camp and its impact. BVI students actively participated in conducting the scientific experiments using adaptive methods and assistive technology. The camp increased the students’ awareness of scientific fields, namely, chemistry, and the students look forward to additional adaptable experiments in future camps.
