Excerpt

The growing interest in teaching Computer Science (CS) to K-12 students has led to the development of blocks-based programming languages (BBPLs) for young students where a program can be created by connecting blocks in a structured way. One of the benefits of a BBPL is removing the necessity to recall the syntax rules of a language. However, the visual nature of these languages makes learning and creating code difficult for children with visual impairments and blindness (VIB). Although a few BBPLs were designed for children with …
