We're proud to spotlight PSD staff members Daniel Brucker and Roberto Cabrera, who were recently invited to serve as panelists at the 2026 Leadership Exchange in Arts and Disability (LEAD) Conference in Philadelphia!

Daniel (far left in blue shirt) and Roberto (far right in brown shirt) joined members of Philadelphia's Deaf and hard of hearing community for "Creating Belonging: Accessibility Stories from Philadelphia's Deaf & Hard-of-Hearing Signers." The session explored accessibility in the arts and cultural spaces, outreach opportunities, and ways organizations can better engage Deaf and hard-of-hearing audiences.

Congratulations to Daniel and Roberto on sharing their experiences and perspectives and representing at this year's LEAD Conference!

Experiment. Create. Test. Repeat!

PSD's STEAM Camp brought Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math to life! Students put their ideas into action through hands-on projects, from creating algae yarn to designing and testing PVC slingshots. It was a week filled with creativity, problem-solving, experimentation, and hands-on learning at its best!

Last Thursday, students in Kindergarten through 9th grade went to the Academy of Natural Sciences at Drexel University! They learned all about the importance of preservation passed down from older generations, while exploring natural wonders that has to offer here in Philadelphia and its surrounding areas. The students also got to interact with live animals there!

This past week, we had two ASL storytellers visiting the PSD campus to meet with the students from preschool through 9th grade! Leticia Arellano and Francisca Rangel met with preschool students last Tuesday to do different ASL activities, including coming up with different handshapes and movements. On Wednesday and Thursday, Leticia and Francisca led storytelling workshops with students in K-9th grade classes to enhance language growth. Many of the students loved telling stories about their experiences watching the World Cup games this summer - we are very grateful for the storytellers' presence this week!
