In May, WHOI welcomed students from Perkins School for the Blind’s Outreach Program for an annual event that connects students with STEAM learning through sound and touch. Amy Bower, a physical oceanographer at WHOI, who is also blind, has led this program since its inception. “What’s unique is that we design hands-on learning activities for these students so they can really feel included,” Bower says. “Most have had no exposure to oceanography. These activities bring home for them what we do and why it’s important.” In a new activity this year blind and low-vision students were able to learn about humpback and North Atlantic right whale foraging habits through music and 3D models.
