CS for All!
What does it look like to make computer science education accessible for students with disabilities? Fred Hilgers at Clairemont high is tackling that issue in his Integrated 1 Math class. Using Bootstrap, a hybrid math / computer science curriculum, Fred is exploring ways that his two visually impaired students can code right along with their classmates. Working directly with Fred, and including the opinions of his students, Bootstrap is creating a visually impaired software that takes input of the student and verbally describes the shape and structure of the output. Not only is this a win for SDUSD students, but potentially has impact with thousands of visually impaired students nationally!
