Hi All, We are sharing this email of "Online Free Events - Accessible Coding Demonstrations for Youth with Visual Impairment on 13th May 2023 at 6 PM IST". So interested people can register and gain knowledge on Accessible Coding.
Note: Kindly check date and time once again while registering and for more info contact mahadeo.suk...@cnib.ca Trailing email begins HI All, I am forwarding a free event around research to involve students with low vision/blind in learning coding. It's being planned by Ontario Technical University - a research group that are close collaborators with Mahadeo's work at CNIB. The event is from 9 am ET to 2 pm ET via zoom. A link to register can be found the abstract in this email. This is probably best aimed at students with some background in coding or AI, or educators who have some familiarity with the field. Apologies for the late notice, we just received this information last week. cheers. Ainsley Traditionally the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) teaching relies on visual media and the apprenticeship model where students see, learn, and practice. For example, visual programming employs blocks representing coding logic that better introduce beginners to writing code in a drag and drop manner. However, such an approach creates entry barriers for youth with visual impairments due to the lack of accessible materials and effective delivery strategies. Our outreach activities aim to demonstrate an Augmented Reality (AR) instructional system with a social robot to provide computer programming instructions via a wearable interface for visually impaired youth. The youth will engage with accessible programming tools that will empower the employment of digital and physical prototyping. This event consists of a list of related research presentations and demonstrations. Register in advance for this meeting: https://cnib.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJ0rduGsqTMrGNKxZ6g4wa44GDztlcZjaJq5 After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.
