The Hawes and Mills’ Adventure! is a bilingual ASL/English storybook app created by a team of staff members and alumni from Wisconsin School for the Deaf. This app was made possible by the support of Wisconsin School for the Deaf, Parent & Staff Association and the generous support of numerous friends. The project was done through Gallaudet University’s Motion Light Lab training program on bilingual storybook apps. This program is funded by Mitsubishi Electric America Foundation.
The ‘Hawes and Mills’ Adventure!’ story follows a special friendship between a chipmunk and a thirteen-lined ground squirrel.
