Microsoft wants to teach blind kids to code.

I know i will seam like an Ahol  for saying this, but seriously Microsoft, you haven’t found any thing simpler to teach blind kids? or is this just a PR stunt ?

Yes there is a big demand for programmers, but programming is very hard to learn, much much more for blind kids!!! And i am sure blind kids would need much more important life skills than coding.

There might be some good intentions there, but still, i think it’s just a PR stunt!

here’s the announcement on Microsoft blog These days, most kids get their first introduction to coding through simplified tools that let them drag and drop blocks of commands, creating programs that can do things like navigate mazes or speed through space.A team of Microsoft researchers and designers in the company’s Cambridge, UK, lab is taking that concept one step further. The team has created what they are calling a physical programming language. It’s a way for kids to physically create code by connecting pods together to build programs.The system, called Project Torino, is designed to make sure that kids who have visual impairments or other challenges can participate in coding classes along with all their classmates. But Cecily Morrison, one of the researchers working on the project, is hoping the system also will be appealing and useful for all learners, regardless of whether they have visual impairments or other challenges.

MUST SEE: Artificially intelligent machines are taking over. They’re influencing our everyday lives in profound and often invisible ways. They can read handwriting, interpret emotions, play games, and even act as personal assistants. They are in our phones, our cars, our doctors’ offices, our banks, our web searches…the list goes on and is rapidly
