The Nice Academy and the university polytechnic school (EPU) Polytech’Nice-Sophia DeViNT (Visually Impaired and New Technologies) present an original approach that introduces young visually impaired students to computer science by making it both accessible and fun.
40 students from the Clément Ader Institute and the specialized school of the Château in Nice and their teachers will experiment with 20 innovative DeViNT projects with students from Polytech’Nice-Sophia.
For almost 10 years, engineering students from Polytech’Nice-Sophia have been designing software accessible to young visually impaired students, using games.
These projects are carried out in collaboration with institutions that educate visually impaired children, such as the Clément Ader Sensory Education Institute, part of PEP06, and the specialized school of the Château in Nice, not to mention associations of parents of students like APEDV06.
DeViNT was selected during the second national edition of the Innovation Days, held at the Unesco headquarters in Paris on March 28 and 29, among the 20 academic projects of the “boulevard of innovations.”
