[New-York-News] Accessible Web Development Workshop

[Chancey Fleet]

Dear Community Member,

This is a call for both students and volunteers to attend a Web Development
Workshop and Study for screen reader users interested in learning how to
create websites! The workshop will be held between 2:30pm and 5pm, on
Saturdays between August 22nd and October 10th (8 sessions in total). All
sessions will be held remotely, using Zoom.

Students:
Prior to starting, you will be asked to complete a survey to help us
improve the course. During the workshop, you will be asked to complete unit
quizzes, and a follow up survey on the final day. Once complete, we will be
reaching out by email to invite you to a 1-on-1 interview about your
experience in the workshop. All activities are completely voluntary.

Volunteer Assistants:
Prior to starting, you will be asked to complete a survey and meet with the
instructor and go over strategies to assist students. During the workshop,
you will be asked to partner with a student to assist them in building a
basic website in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. After the workshop concludes,
you will be asked to complete a survey about your experience. All
activities are completely voluntary.


Here is an outline of the workshop:
Session 1: Intro to the web (websites, browsers and the net), web
languages, file structure, text editor and other software to be used.
