Signing Glossaries for Science Exhibits (SGSE)

For the Signing Glossaries for Science Exhibits (SGSE) project, TERC researched and developed six separate signing glossaries to provide visitors, ages 5-12+ who are deaf or hard of hearing, access to STEM vocabulary during visits to aquariums, botanical gardens, natural history museums, nature centers, science museums, and zoos.
