It’s back! The third biennial NFB Youth Slam is slated to take place in the summer of 2011.
July 17-23, 2011 (Students arrive on on Sunday afternoon and depart on Saturday morning.)
The program will be held at Towson University located in Towson, Maryland approximately eight miles north of Baltimore. It is the second largest university in Maryland. Washington, D.C., the nation's capital, is less than an hour away.
Whether or not science or technology is “your thing,” there’s sure to be something for everyone. Learn the science behind building apps for your iPod, use cutting edge equipment and technology to determine chemical reactions in chemistry labs, build robots, or learn how to use nonvisual techniques to perform a real dissection! We guarantee this summer program will be like no other you’ve ever been to before!
One hundred and fifty blind and low vision students from all across the country will be selected to attend this five-day adventure that will engage, inspire, and encourage the next generation of blind youth to consider careers falsely believed to be impossible for the blind.
