9:30 am: The Business of Blindness: Call with Mike Cole (online)All students, customers, visitors and staff are required to wear a mask at all of our sites. 9:30 am: The Business of Blindness: Call with Mike Cole (online) – What does it really mean to be blind or low vision? Mike Cole, a veteran of all things blindness, will lead this call-in forum to discuss the many day-to-day ins-and-outs of blindness—from daily living in your home environment to navigating the vast expanse of bureaucracies. There's always a lively crowd sharing their own experiences, so make a cup of coffee (or tea), sit in your favorite chair and call in to chat the business of blindness. For more information including dial in details, contact Sabrina at sbolus@lighthouse-sf.org. |

5:00 pm: Knowledge Unbounded Astronomy WorkshopAll students, customers, visitors and staff are required to wear a mask at all of our sites. 5:00 pm: Knowledge Unbounded Astronomy Workshop – Have you ever wondered what the universe feels like? Have you ever wanted to touch galaxies, stars, and black holes? Through Knowledge Unbounded Astronomy Workshops led by Pranet Sharma, you’ll get to do just that! These workshops involve an in-depth, extensive—and most importantly, fun! —exploration of the universe and our place within it. We will be discussing topics ranging from the solar system and its mechanics to the detection of dark matter in extragalactic space to black holes!! Taught accessibly, these workshops synthesize innovative tactile models of the cosmos with auditory instruction. They further introduce advanced techniques of astrophysics research for the visually impaired. The workshops will conclude with a discussion of pathways into accessible careers in astrophysics, and an introduction to professional astrophysics work through Pranet’s experience in the field. Show out for a good time (and to get lost among the stars!) Monthly Session Topics
