Do you have a student who reads braille that will be in Grades 5-8 next year? Does your student need to work on their Nemeth or math skills? Does your student like games and puzzles? Would your student enjoy meeting others who read braille?
If you said yes to these questions, here is a great opportunity! Project INSPIRE is offering a three-week, online Nemeth in a box Program for middle school students who read braille this June.
We will meet on Mondays and Wednesdays beginning on June 13 and ending on June 29. We will offer two sessions. The morning session will be held from 11:30-1:00 Eastern/10:30-12:00 Central/9:30-11:00 Mountain/8:30-10:00 Pacific. The late afternoon session will be held from 4:00-5:30 Eastern/3:00-4:30 Central/2:00-3:30 Mountain/1:00-2:30 Pacific.
The attached flyer has additional information.
