Project INSPIRE: Student Programs

The Project INSPIRE team created and offered three programs. The materials from these programs can be used by teachers of students with visual impairments, families, STEM teachers, and others. They are fun and engaging for students and assist them in building their math braille code knowledge while engaging in activities that promote math and science learning.

Nemeth in a Box Materials

Nemeth in a Box for Middle School Students contains seven lessons that teachers of students with visual impairments or others (e.g., paraprofessionals, family members) can use to review and/or introduce Nemeth Code symbols at the middle school level and review math concepts in a fun way. 

• See the topics in Nemeth in a Box.

Mission INSPIRE

Mission INSPIRE is a set of science and engineering activities designed for students ages 11-15 years. Teachers of students with visual impairments or others (e.g., science teachers, science fair organizers, family members) can use the Mission INSPIRE materials to provide students an opportunity to participate in hands-on science learning through an inquiry-based experience.

Mathlete Competition

The Mathlete Competition is designed for students in grades 6-12. Mathletes compete in four rounds of competition during which they demonstrate their ability to read, write, and proofread braille math. Competition materials are available both in Nemeth Code within UEB Contexts and UEB Math/Science.
