Wristwatch Design for the Visually Impaired
Posted on December 17th, 2019 by Mary Lord
Students in grades 6 to 8 follow the engineering design process while combining mechanical engineering and bioengineering to create a new wristwatch face for a visually impaired student at their school. Teams present their designs to the class and construct prototypes of a watch face that doesn’t rely on sight to tell time.

Science research competitions can spur confidence and open college doors, but many students – particularly those from underrepresented groups – don’t know about these opportunities. The Society for Science & the Public seeks to broaden participation through its Advocate Grant Program, which offers training, a $3,000 stipend, and paid trip to Washington, D.C., for individuals to help a minimum of three underserved students navigate the transition from conducting to presenting their research at a competition. Apply by March 4, 2020. 
Outdoor adventures, engaging lectures, and a visit to Washington, D.C., are among the life-changing experiences that two graduating high school STEM leaders selected from each state and the District of Columbia will enjoy at this prestigious summer science-education program in West Virginia – all travel and camp fees covered. Applications are due Feb. 28, 2020. 
India West lost most of her sight to a benign brain tumor when she was about 4 years old. University of Michigan students in David Chesney’s Software Engineering course worked with her to develop technologies that helped her navigate school and home.
High school students practice human-centered design by imagining, designing, and prototyping a product to improve classroom accessibility for the visually impaired. The begin by wearing low-vision simulation goggles (or blindfolds) and walking with canes to navigate through a classroom in order to experience what it feels like to be visually impaired. 
Students in grades 6 to 11 explore the practical, scientific, ethical, and environmental issues that emerge in creating “smart” buildings that meld environmentally responsible design with cutting-edge computing technology known as the Internet of Things (IoT). Working in teams, they design and perhaps later implement smart-building solutions to make their school a better place to inhabit.
To convey the major positive impact that chemical engineers and scientists have on society, the Camille and Henry Dreyfus Foundation has launched a series of short, real-life videos with proposed lesson plans for incorporating cutting edge research into the classroom. 
Learn how K-12 teachers across the country are transforming their STEM classes – and themselves – through NSF’s Research Experiences for Teachers in Engineering and Computer Science (RET) program. You, too, can apply to participate!
Middle and high school students follow the engineering design process to create wearable devices to monitor the health of humans, animals, or both in this competition sponsored by North Carolina State University’s Nanosystems Engineering Research Center for Advanced Self-Powered Systems of Integrated Sensors and Technologies (ASSIST). The program includes teacher training and lesson plans to help implement the design challenge. Register teams by Feb. 15, 2020.
