在计算机科学中，盲人和视觉障碍社区的代表性大大不足。希望进入该学科的学生必须克服成功的技术和教育障碍。为了帮助这一人群，我们从事一个为期三年的研究项目，为盲人和视力障碍的中学生和高中生建立教育基础设施。我们的主要研究目标是开始为整个美国的盲人建立多感官教育基础设施。我们在这里提出了这项研究的两个初步结果：1）一个名为Sodbeans的新听觉编程环境，一种称为HOP的编程语言，以及多感觉（声音和触摸）课程，以及2）对我们的第一个夏季研讨会的经验研究盲人学生。结果表明，学生在参加我们的营地后报告了编程自我效能的大幅提高。
The blind and visually impaired community is significantly underrepresented in computer science. Students who wish to enter the discipline must overcome significant technological and educational barriers to succeed. In an attempt to help this population, we are engaged in a three-year research project to build an educational infrastructure for blind and visually impaired middle and high school students. Our primary research goal is to begin forging a multi-sensory educational infrastructure for the blind across the United States. We present here two preliminary results from this research: 1) a new auditory programming environment called Sodbeans, a programming language called Hop, and a multi-sensory (sound and touch) curriculum, and 2) an empirical study of our first summer workshop with the blind students. Results show that students reported a significant increase in programming self-efficacy after participating in our camp.
