With Code Jumper, experts look to jumpstart computer science interest for kids who are blind
WORCESTER, United Kingdom — It’s a warm day in early June and a group of students have gathered in the IT classroom at New College Worcester to show off their coding skills.
But instead of poking at tablet screens or typing into laptops, these students are taking out brightly colored plastic pods, connecting them together with thick white wires and then adjusting the pod’s buttons and knobs. These physical components will be used to create computer programs that can tell stories, make music and even crack jokes.
