About Project Access

Project Access aims to support programming options of local and state agencies by offering cyber education opportunities for blind and visually impaired, and neurodivergent students through immersive experiences that are fully compatible with assistive technology such as screen readers or magnification software. This gives neurodivergent students the confidence and knowledge necessary to pursue higher education and technology careers.

Technology Camp Details and Requirements

Due to the advanced nature of the programming at Technology Camp, all campers are required to have completed pre-Algebra and be reading at least at the 8^th grade level.  Campers are also required to have a working knowledge of any adaptive technology.  Should you have any questions about these requirements, please contact Alex Van Dyke.
