NASA's Neurodiversity Network (N3): Creating Inclusive Informal Learning Opportunities across the Spectrum

NASA's Neurodiversity Network is a five-year program to redevelop existing NASA resources for use with neurodiverse learners, with a special focus on autistic learners. SSU is partnering with Educational Development Corporation and New York Hall of Science to test the resources with northern California high schools that specialize in autistic learners, as well as informal audiences in New York City. This program was inspired by Prof. Cominsky's work with autistic SSU physics majors, including the use of a robotic telescope for astronomical observations as well as model rocketry and payload development.
