Visually impaired students from preschool through 12th grade gathered in the Bronx to showcase their scientific findings at the annual science fair held at the New York Institute for Special Education. The event, with the theme of “chemical reaction,” featured projects built on topics such as solar energy, invisible ink and slime, all displayed in Braille to accommodate students’ visual impairments.
Despite the challenges of being visually impaired, the students were thrilled to participate in the fair and share their work with others. Nestor Alfonso, a high school student, expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to engage in hands-on science projects like this one, which are typically offered in public schools.
The science fair was a testament to the students’ hard work and creativity. It provided them with a platform to showcase their scientific abilities and passion for learning, despite their visual impairments. The event highlighted the importance of inclusivity and accessibility in science education, allowing all students to participate and excel in STEM fields.
