Subject: [udhecop] STEM for All Video Showcase - is Live


Hello Everyone,

The STEM for All Video Showcase<http://stemforall2018.videohall.com/> is now live.  The Showcase, which runs from May 14-21 highlights work being done by federally-funded programs to transform STEM education.

This year, the AccessCSforAll (one of our other projects) submission will bring attention to including students with disabilities in K-12 computer science education by highlighting a blind student programming a robot using Blocks4All.  Blocks4All<https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=3051525>, developed by UW CSE graduate student Lauren Milne, explores techniques to make block-based programming accessible to students who are blind.

Check out our video, join the conversation, and cast your vote: Accessible Programming with Blocks4All<http://stemforall2018.videohall.com/presentations/1078>
