[BlindMath] Workshop on Accessible Mathematics For Blind High-School and College Students

[Bhavya shah]

Dear Hussain,

I would be very interested in the workshop as well. For context, I am
a rising sophomore at college with strong interests in mathematics and
theoretical computer science.

Thanks.
