    Technologists of Tomorrow:
    Education & Special Needs Students
    Tuesday, October 11, 7:30 p.m. Alvin Johnson/J.M. Kaplan Hall, 66 West 12th Street, room 510
    This panel will explore a paradigm of technological practice for students with special needs. One in six students is currently diagnosed with a developmental disability in 2011 and while reading, writing and arithmetic can prove hard for these struggling students, technology has seemed to occupy an intuitive space for many students with significant challenges. Special needs students do not need to just be consumers of technologythey can also be producers. How can we teach digital natives who may be exceptional exhibiting pockets of talents and extra-ordinary in unusual ways to be the technological producers of tomorrow? This panel will focus on examples related to two-years worth of workshops given to special needs students utilizing DIY physical computing projects to animation to coding. The panel will also address how physical computing and the field of assistive technology can become a game changer via the development of new objects for the special needs population.
