3:00 pm: FAST: Art for All POSTPONED!!!3:00 pm: FAST: Art for All POSTPONED!!! –
Who? Blind students of all ages, families and teachers Where? Access Gallery, 909 Santa Fe Dr, Denver, CO 80204 When? Friday, March 13, 2020 from 3:00 – 7:00 PM. You are invited to come experience tactile art made by blind students at the Colorado Center for the Blind. Emily vonSwearingen, teaching artist, collaborated with students at the Colorado Center for the Blind to create tactile based, mixed-media art projects. Students ages 5 – 12 years old created hot glue paintings on wood with tactile shapes. Students ages 13 – 18 years old created tactile paintings by cutting shapes from balsa wood, then collaboratively painting with the teaching artist by mixing textures and wood carving. They also created 3-D sculptures by attaching screws to a centered foundation then threading and attaching mixed-media materials to create artwork that can be experienced by sighted and non-sighted viewers. (You are welcome to touch the artwork). Please RSVP by visiting https://cocenter.org/art-for-all/ These projects were funded by Denver Arts and Venues: Imagine 2020 with The Art Garage. This exhibit is made possible through Access Gallery and the Colorado Center for the Blind. For questions, please contact Martin Becerra-Miranda at mbecerra@cocenter.org or (303)778-1130 Ext: 223.

7:00 pm: FAST and Zoom, Zoom and FAST – Colorado Center for the Blind’s FAST Program goes virtual!7:00 pm: FAST and Zoom, Zoom and FAST – Colorado Center for the Blind’s FAST Program goes virtual!
Observing “Social Distancing” guidelines doesn’t have to mean being socially disconnected. The Colorado Center for the Blind FAST program will therefore host a virtual get-together every other Friday evening at 7:00 PM., starting April 24. April 24: We have all been doing school and work online for weeks now. Some of it is going okay, but there are also real barriers for blind students in the virtual classroom. In light of this ever-changing virtual learning landscape our blind and visually impaired students face due to the pandemic, the Colorado Center for the Blind want to know how this is affecting blind and visually impaired students and to see if there are resources we can offer. We know that by now, most if not all of your school districts have made the difficult decision that in-person classes will not return the remainder of this school year. The Colorado Center for the Blind, the National Federation of the Blind of Colorado and the National Federation of the Blind stand together in supporting your educational and extracurricular needs. Here are a couple of resources to get started with:
Oh, and we’ll definitely include some fun and “social” activities too! For additional information or to receive the Zoom Meeting link/phone number, please contact Martin Becerra-Miranda by emailing mbecerra@cocenter.org Be safe, be kind and be fair,

7:00 pm: Fun Activities & Skills Training (FAST) Game Night!7:00 pm: Fun Activities & Skills Training (FAST) Game Night! – It has been a lot of fun getting to connect with those of you who have participated in our bi-weekly FAST Zoom meetings. This time around we are moving our meeting to Thursday night at 7 PM. During the first couple of sessions we have discussed many aspects of virtual/distance learning such as accessing materials, navigating google classroom, socializing with peers, finding accessible games, and of course working with various types of devices (and even troubleshooting some issues during the meeting). This upcoming Thursday we will be having a game night lead by our very own Access Technology instructor Brett Boyer. We are planning to play a bit of trivia, “Heads Up”, and another game or two. We will be using the same call in/log in information that we have used during our previous calls. If you have any questions or for the information, please reach out to Martin Becerra-Miranda via phone at (303)778-1130 extension 223 or via email at mbecerra@cocenter.org |

Join the Colorado Center for the Blind this upcoming Friday, June 5, 2020 at 7:00 pm MDT for our bi-weekly FAST (Fun Activities and Skills Training) Zoom meeting. Our last meeting was a Game Night; we played a few rounds of “Trivia” and a couple of other rounds of “Heads Up”. Unsurprisingly, everyone who participated did a great job! We weren’t keeping score but the competitive juices were flowing for sure. This week, we will kick off our meeting with a bit of trivia relating to our topic, which is Pre-Employment Transition Services. Those of you who are currently working with rehabilitation services will likely know what “Pre-ETS” means. For those of you who are not completely sure, you will have to join us to find out what it means and how it applies to you. Now that it’s June 1 and most schools are out, we also want to highlight the “Virtual Summer Sessions” that the Colorado Center for the Blind will be offering starting June 16, 2020. CCB will have 4 different workshops that will cover the following topics: Self-Advocacy; STEM; College Readiness; and Employment. The Self-Advocacy and STEM workshops will consist of two 90-minute sessions each. And the College Readiness and Employment workshops will consist of four 90-minute sessions each. We will use the same call in/log in information for this call as we’ve used for previous FAST Zoom meetings. If you need the meeting information or have questions regarding our Virtual Summer Sessions, please contact Martin Becerra-Miranda at (303)778-1130 extension 223 or by email at mbecerra@cocenter.org.
