Calling educators, parents, and young learners who use assistive technology!
The Micro:bit Educational Foundation, in collaboration with Google and Microsoft, has introduced new accessibility features to MakeCode for micro:bit, including keyboard navigation and screen reader support for block-based coding.
Now we need your help to try the new accessibility features and give us your feedback.
Looking for feedback from:
- Educators, parents, and carers supporting learners aged 8-25 who use assistive technology.
- Young people (aged 8–25) who use assistive tech, taking part with adult permission.
- Specifically, those using screen readers, braille displays, magnifiers, high-contrast settings, switches, eye gaze, voice control, or keyboard-only navigation.
How to take part:
- Explore our Accessibility support resources
- Try the MakeCode editor
- Take the survey
