Today we are highlighting one of our educators, Alexander Parker from Cossitt Ave School, who has been working with grades third through sixth as head of the STEMpathy Club to develop an understanding of disability, dispel misconceptions about disability, and center empathy as part of The Nora Project curriculum. In the club, students look to engineer inclusive practices on multiple levels to understand the accessibility needs of all in their community.
