Rochester Institute of Technology’s National Technical Institute for the Deaf (NTID) and The Strong have partnered to celebrate National Deaf History Month with a Deaf Day of Play at the museum. Pro-bono interpreting services will be provided by NTID senior students throughout the day as part of their practicum requirements.

From 11 a.m.–12 p.m. and 2–3 p.m., learn about butterflies from a museum biologist in the Dancing Wings Butterfly Garden, enjoy ASL story times with the Rochester School for the Deaf in the Storybook Theater. Visit the Play Lab to create a stop motion ASL video and join the ROC HCI research group to learn about their Tabletop Interactive Play System. If professional interpreting services are required, please contact Strong National Museum of Play to make arrangements.
