L2MNSERC I2I - DODO: Blocky Coding for Visually Impaired Children

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

DODO is a programming learning platform for visually impaired children through computer vision, audio games, and 3D paper modules (blocks). Each module has its unique paper texture and color. The dynamics include the scenarios of a child listening to different missions and expressing the solution through the paper modules. The child will receive instant feedback through the professor or the DODO program with real-time object detection through a camera to move to the next level. DODO is an innovative proposal since there are currently various platforms and toys to teach programming concepts to children. Still, their dynamics require visual components, for which making a specific design for visually impaired children makes it something unique in the market. This proposal benefits society by being a proposal that seeks inclusion. Likewise, this will help the local economy by having more people prepared to enter the labor market in areas with a significant impact. More and more people are needed to fill technology-related positions
