Our mission is to encourage and assist blind scientists in any field of science. We promote the development of accessible science dataloggers and teaching methodologies that empower a blind student to become an integral part of a laboratory team. These science data loggers record sensor information in an accessible format with the creation of graphs, statistics, an accessible talking scientific calculator and data tables to enhance the laboratory experience and provide more non-visual data access than ever before.|In addition we have fun tactile Braille and large print science shirts, key chains/cane decor, and tactile caffeine desk lights that are handcrafted laser-etched tactile and legible braille labeled molecule of caffeine on a 5 inch by 6 inch sheet of acrylic that comes with a LED light base, color changing remote, and may be run either by 3 double A batteries or by attaching the included USB cable to any USB power brick or even your computer. This stunning piece is perfect for a decorative showpiece to display your love of accessible science, to see to show students in your classroom, or even as a nightlight.|

Microsoft Soundscape: Come meet the team and share your feedback. “Soundscape” can be considered a map which is delivered in 3D sound i.e. it uses 3D audio technology to enhance your awareness of what is around you, and thereby helps you get around and explore your surroundings, but most importantly, Soundscape allows you to do these activities on your own terms. This session is designed to allow us to hear from our users, discuss the feedback in detail, while sharing our own insights and learnings from the past year. In particular, we’d love to hear about your impressions of Soundscape, your motivations behind how and why you use it in the way you do; and, at the same time, we’ll go over some of our key features such as wayfinding, running Soundscape in the background to enhance ambient awareness, placing markers that are personal to you, and having fun through developing the superpower to know where any place in the world is in relation to you.
