Education Using Audioguides on Research in the SciencesThe University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) will pilot the development of an audioguide that will help to improve knowledge about and accessibility to science learning for visitors currently underserved by programs at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Mesa Laboratory. This creative endeavor, entitled Education Using Audioguides on Research in the Sciences (EARS), will be informed by experts on the hearing and vision- impaired and low-income, native Spanish speakers. The goals of EARS are to engage and inform thousands of visitors who cannot or choose not to take a staff-guided tour at the Mesa Lab; improve accessibility to exhibits for visitors who have low vision, blindness, or hearing loss; extend this educational experience to the region's low-income immigrant population through the audioguide's translation into Spanish; and enhance family learning about hands-on exhibits and the science inquiry process. EARS will be developed under the experienced leadership of staff in UCAR's Office of Education and Outreach, in consultation with NCAR scientists and representatives of the Colorado Center for the Blind, Self Help for the Hard of Hearing, and the Family Learning Center. A well-recognized provider of audioguide technology and production has been selected to create the new EARS communications resource.

教育使用音频指南的研究在sciesThe大气研究大学公司（UCAR）将试点开发一个音频指南，这将有助于提高知识和访问科学学习的游客目前服务不足的方案在国家大气研究中心（NCAR）梅萨实验室。这一创造性的奋进，题为教育使用音频指南在科学研究（EARS），将通报的专家对听力和视力受损和低收入，母语为西班牙语。EARS的目标是吸引成千上万无法或选择不参加梅萨实验室工作人员导游的游客并向他们提供信息;改善视力低下、失明或听力损失的游客参观展览的机会;通过将音频指南翻译成西班牙语，将这种教育经验推广到该地区的低收入移民人口;并加强家庭对动手展品和科学探究过程的学习。 EARS将在UCAR教育和推广办公室工作人员的经验丰富的领导下开发，并与NCAR科学家和科罗拉多盲人中心、听力障碍者自助中心和家庭学习中心的代表进行协商。一个公认的音频指南技术和生产供应商已被选中创建新的EARS通信资源。
