Dear Colleague,
I am excited to tell you about Workshop 31 "Improving the
Accessibility of Computing Enrichment Programs" which will be held at
SIGCSE 2012 in Raleigh, NC. The workshop is on March 3rd from 3 to 6
pm.
http://www.sigcse.org/sigcse2012/
Workshop Description: "Many wonderful enrichment programs have been
created to introduce young people to computing, but with little
attention to making them accessible to students with disabilities. In
this workshop participants will learn from practitioners who have
introduced computing and programming to young people with
disabilities. They will also learn first-hand from students with
disabilities about their needs in learning programming. There will be
breakout sessions for participants to apply what they have learned to
improve existing enrichment programs such as Alice, Arduino, Scratch,
Kodu, App Inventor, Greenfoot, Lego Mindstorms, Processing, and
Computer Science Unplugged. Laptop Recommended."
