Neurodivergence is my Superpower Program
Saturday, October 28th at 10:30 AM. Registration required.
Appropriate for middle school & high school age students.
This program is presented by Dr. Shahid of the UCONN Civil Engineering Department.

A strength-based approach is used, emphasizing that we all are unique and it is only with our unique talents, once they are pieced together, that we can solve highly complex problems.
The activities used are designed to give students the space to explore and use their imagination to its fullest extent.
