Deaf Space Camp

Deaf Space Camp in American Sign Language.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Florida -- The concept of Space Camp for Deaf and Hard of Hearing children was pioneered in 1986 by Dr. John Tiffany, principal of the Alabama Institute for the Deaf and Blind in Talladega, Alabama.

Dr. Tiffany asked John Thomas Wheeler who worked at NASA if he would be interested in speaking to the students about NASA and science related jobs, he accepted. The first group to attend Deaf Space Camp had 21 Deaf students.


In the fall of 1997, Amy Newland, who taught at the Western PA School for the Deaf in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, independently took over the coordination of the program as the director. The director of this program has been on a volunteer basis since it's conception. Since 1987 there have been over 2,000 students and staff, from the United States and Internationally, who have attended the program Space Camp/Aviation Challenge for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing.

This video was created by Ohio School for the Deaf students.
