The Consumer Technology Association awarded American Printing House (APH) with a highly coveted Best of Innovation Award. The award, won in the accessibility category, honors APH’s Code Jumper, an incredible, inclusive product that allows children who are blind or visually impaired to learn computer coding alongside their sighted peers.
The tools that are currently used to teach computer coding to young children are highly visual, using the drag and drop of colored blocks on a screen to create animations. These methods are not accessible to children who are blind or visually impaired.
