As part of the Tapia conference this year, Sept. 18-20, in San Diego, AccessComputing will be hosting a day-long workshop on Saturday, Sept. 21st, from 9 am - 3 pm. If you’re attending Tapia, we’d love for you to connect with us! You are invited to present on your research, serve on a panel, or attend and be a part of the community and conversations.
Title: Accessibility in Computer Science
Description: Companies want engineers that can build accessible technology, because creating an accessible digital world requires people to design and build that world to be accessible. In our community, there’s exciting accessibility research being done by computer scientists, and yet many computing students are not being taught about accessibility in their courses. This workshop will give you a crash course on accessibility, expose you to research projects related to accessibility, and help you find ways to build your skills after the workshop ends.
Educators should sign up here to indicate your interest in the workshop, via presenting, moderating a panel, serving on a panel, etc. If you are a student, please use the student registration form.
We recognize that many conference attendees return home on the last day of a conference; if you’re interested in attending and/or leading a session of the workshop, but you don’t have funding to stretch to an additional night’s lodging, AccessComputing has funding to help cover that added expense.
If you have any questions or concerns about the workshop, please email AccessComp@uw.edu.
