Astronomy is the most fascinating science for the general public, and one of the most interdisciplinary existing subjects. This makes Astronomy an ideal subject to work on accessibility because through the teaching of Astronomy we can access a wide range of other topics. The population with disabilities is large, with high rates of unemployment. The main objective of CAI is this population, even in the most early stages of education. We are looking to provide accessible resources for the students with disabilities and reduce the gap that already exists in the professional field of Astronomy in our region, the Caribbean.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
