In this talk, Dr. Barth, Deaf theoretical chemist/physicist and Fulbright Visiting Scholar from Germany, presents the Sign2MINT project for the development of a STEM sign language dictionary in Germany. He will explain how STEM signs in German Sign Language (DGS) are selected, collected, and developed. Deaf experts from different STEM subjects (physics, chemistry, biology, and mathematics) participate in monthly workshops to introduce STEM topics and discuss STEM signs. The developed STEM signs are then professionally recorded on video and published on sign2mint.de. He will present examples of STEM signs (chemical elements, Greek symbols).
