This week on Microsoft Unboxed, our cohosts Sonia and Colleen discuss how Code Jumper is enabling more kids to learn how to code and opening possibilities for students to explore careers in computer science. Code Jumper is a set of physical blocks that are specifically designed to teach coding to kids who are blind or low vision. It is one of the many initiatives that Microsoft has been focusing on for inclusivity and accessibility. In this episode, Colleen and Sonia sit down with Microsoft senior researcher Dr. Nicolas Villar to talk about how Code Jumper was created, how it broadens the base of people who can learn computational thinking and why inclusivity and accessibility are important. Then, Colleen and Sonia try out coding with Code Jumper for themselves.

Microsoft Unboxed is a weekly YouTube series from Microsoft, hosted by Sonia Dara and Colleen O’Brien. We’ll look at Microsoft’s latest technology, and the people and stories behind the tech. Tune in every Thursday at 9AM PT for new episodes.
