Quorum Programming Language: Accessible Programming
Quorum is a free programming language that is accessible with screen readers - including the tutorials!
Computer science is a wide open field for everyone – including people who are visually impaired. Do you have a student who is currently interested in or is taking a computer programing class? Many programming languages are very visual; however, Quorum is an evidence-based programming language that is designed to be accessible with a screen reader. Quorum is available for both Windows PC and Mac.
Learn more about Quorum on the Quorum Website.
The Quorum Website organizes the programming into easily digested chunks:
- Getting Started
- The Basics
- Using Libraries
- Arrays
- Containers
- Games
- Lego Robots
- Sound
- Plugins
- Coding Guidelines
- Teams and Version Control
Quorum Tutorials
Quorum Lessons provide extra labs and assignments for classroom usage.
Follow Mary’s video series: Mary in an Hour of Code. Each video is accompanied by written instructions, a screen where you type in your code and then the ability to run the code you just created!
