Blind of Minnesota

National Federation of the Blind for Minnesota:

TEAM:
Dan
Alex
Emily

Group Leaders:
Dan + Alex

We have met with Shawn who is the director of Blind Inc. and one of the directors at the NFB Minnesota chapter. We have learned many things about the NFB by meeting with Shawn. The organizations motto and goals are to equip the visually impaired with many skills as well as the confidence in life to carry out daily life and pursuing dreams.

The NFB has many programs for their members and students to take part in. Enabling students goes along with every activity and program in some way or another. We have taken interest in these activities and programs and discussed with Shawn today about some ideas of our relationship as design students with the NFB.

POSSIBLE STEPS/MOVING FORWARD
Possible outcomes we have begun to talk more about is to enable artists and anyone who wants to pursue creative endeavours. This might be a packet or survival kit for a blind artist, which is stemming from the idea of MCAD's use of the learning center and to do/survival forms for artists. JUST AN IDEA THOUGH.

CONTACTS SO FAR:

Paul Wharton
Vice President - Creative at Larson Design
