Everyone Can Code: Learning Together
Brenda Qualls, BHS Computer Science teacher, welcomed students from the Arkansas School for the Blind and Visually Impaired recently. Bryant students worked alongside the guests to code a program in java. The ASBVI students shared information about the devices they use for coding such as an audio screen reader and the BrailleNote Touch. It was a great learning experience for both groups of students!
