Ask HN: Alternatives to Scratch for a blind child?
17 by nathell | 1 comments on Hacker News.
Hey HN, My friend’s children are starting their adventure with programming at school with Scratch. Unfortunately, the eldest one is blind, and as Scratch is visual, he won’t be able to use it. A pity: the kid has probably the most vivid imagination of all people I know. Can you recommend an alternative? Something tactile or audial, perhaps? A quick googling yielded https://codejumper.com/ – is it worth the $1K it costs? Personal experience reports are most welcome. Thanks!
