Perhaps Off Topic, but for a good cause.

This year I met Jana Schroeder, a blind person forced to change jobs as part of 
the social cost of Covid. Her outsider experience of computer coding training 
became a wish to make things better. She has applied for a Holman Prize 
($25,000 over a year) to fund this. She's also set up a survey to reach and 
know better those with similar wishes.

One simple way to help open to many is to volunteer to be a sighted helper for 
a code and math variant of BeMyEyes.org. I encourage you to listen to Jana's 
pitch for a Holman prize, and if you want to help complete the survey (whether 
you're blind or sighted, code or math, young or old). I've learnt a lot about 
accessibility from Jana.
