The Torres Foundation invites you to tune in tonight on WRTFB BridgeCom Radio at 8:00 PM for the groundbreaking We Can Do radio feature on our recently concluded Camp Can Do (CCD) summer program.
Tonight's program will feature an interview with Dr. Craig Moore, a visually impaired Rocket Scientist who was one of the presenters at CCD2011.
In addition, you will also be able to hear the campers participate in a historic presentation with Hoot Gibson, a space shuttle commander with 5 missions into space to his credit. The campers asked excellent questions and were quite thrilled to get the once-in-a-life time opportunity to speak to a real astronaut right there in Bon Accord Tobago. If you miss the show tonight, it will be rebroadcasted on Monday, August 15 and Tuesday August 16 at 9:00 PM U.S. eastern time.
Check it out.

The Camp Can Do (CCD) 2010 report is now on-line. It is a comprehensive summary of the Torres Foundation's science and technology Caribbean summer camp for the blind that took place in Bon Accord Tobago in July 2010.
This year the report includes thank you letters from the campers as well as their photographs. The words of the camp song written by Nyol Manswell are also included.
Special thanks to Richie Rich of Iron Eagle for the photography. Also, I would like to Thank Melanie Boyle, Kashmir Mitchell, and Allison Questel for their editing and production support.

Dr. Cary Supalo is a blind scientist and educator. He was invited to conduct the Camp Can Do 2009 science workshop in Bon Accord Tobago. Dr. Supalo has extensively researched the use of adaptive technologies in teaching science curricula to blind students and has been instrumental in developing various innovative laboratory tools and methodologies.
Many of the campers were quite impressed with the various assistive technology tools that were used in the workshop. None of them ever knew that there were so many tools and techniques that were available for a blind person to conduct science experiments. Dr. Supalo was an inspiration to all.
The interview was conducted in September 2009 by Tim Ryan of the Torres Foundation in our Washington DC office.
