If your school systems are participating in the hour of code
activities, here is an accessible activity that works with screen
readers.

Hi Chris, thanks for posting as it reminded me to post this on social
media! It is actually Computer Science Education Week which is
probably why you got this opportunity. There is an accessible Hour of
Code, newly introduced. The programming language is called Quorum.
This Hour of Code has 7 parts complete with video tutorials. It took
me a little over an hour.

This project is really exciting as it is mainstream accessible and a
lot of Hours of Code and other introductions to computer science often
use a drag and drop interface that is not accessible.

Part one of this Hour of Code can be found here. I encourage everyone
to try it out!
