Schedule the KSSB Mobile STEM Unit

Schedule the Kansas State School for the Blind Mobile STEM Unit for an inclusive event for your next classroom event. Inclusive STEM experiences utilize access technology and simple adaptations to provide an opportunity that allows ALL students to explore, analyze, engage in trial and error investigations, and experience the joy of discovery.

The KSSB Mobile STEM Unit brings quality, hands-on, and interactive activities for classrooms which includes students who are blind or visually impaired.
