75

Astronomers designed an astronomy workshop for students with hearing loss that can be easily used in classrooms, museums, fairs, and other public events. The workshop utilized a sound stage that allowed the CSDR students to ‘feel’ vibrations from rockets, stars, galaxies, supernovae, and even remnants of the Big Bang itself.
