Discover examples and techniques you can use in your own classrooms (programming, design, testing, etc.) to best prepare your students to create inclusive experiences that not only increase their employability after graduation but also motivate them to create innovative breakthroughs in making technology work better for everyone.

The bootcamp is led by Mary Bellard, senior accessibility architect at Microsoft and co-leader of the Teach Access Materials Task Force, and Larry Goldberg, senior director of accessible media at Oath.

Lunch will be provided from noon to 1 p.m., including plenty of discussion and time for questions and answers.

Registration is required for both in-person and virtual participants. Onsite seating is limited to 25 people, and the livestream is limited to 100 people.
