Drones for all: Creating an Authentic Programming Experience for Students with Visual Impairments
Programming has become a highly sought-after skill in STEM-related studies and careers, but it has only reached a fraction of students with visual impairments. Therefore, there is a need to explore new methods for teaching and learning. This study aims to understand the potential of using drones to create an authentic learning environment to help students with visual impairments learn programming. Based on a month-long engagement with five students with visual impairments, we present insights on using drones to support programming education for students with visual impairments.
