Principal, Rotary Club and Students Develop and Share Tools for Blind Students - #664

Never miss another interview! Join Devin here: http://bit.ly/joindevin. Dr. John Patterson was the first president of his Liverpool-based Rotary Club. He is also the principal at St. Vincent’s, a school for visually impaired and blind children. Working with the children, they developed SightBox, a collection of games and educational tools for kids like themselves in the developing world. Working with his Rotary Club, they share the SightBox kits with students who would otherwise have no access to such things. Interview with Dr. John Adam Patterson, the Dr John Patterson Principal and Charter President Rotary St.Vincents of St. Vincent’s School for the Blind. What is the problem you solve and how do you solve it? In the UK, Visually Impaired unemployment is at 85% with 5-6 less friends than sighted peers; this is much higher in developing countries. We design access to sports equipment and send this equipment with a surround curriculum to VI schools weaving in technology teaching and learning innovation generating VI friend groups and access to learning /support for new venture creation.
