摘要
Monash Sensory Science is a scientific outreach initiative specifically tailored to members of the community who are blind, have low vision and have diverse needs. The purpose of this initiative is to showcase Australian science and encourage greater participation in science from these often-overlooked communities. This article presents our experience in establishing Monash Sensory Science at Monash University and inspiring other institutions to launch similar outreach events. The Monash Sensory Science event held in 2023 was a tailored scientific exhibition for individuals with low vision, blindness and diverse needs. The initiative aims to showcase Australian science and promote increased participation from often overlooked communities, detailing our experiences in launching this project at Monash University and other institutions. image
