[Microbit-Python] micro:bit as an aid for the blind for Disabled Access Day 10th-11th March

[Nevil Hunt]

After Andrew's post about the talk in Milton Keynes that I'd not spotted I thought I let everyone know about this event...


Some Digital Eagles in Yorkshire have come up with an aid for the blind using micro:bits that they plan to show at


Barclays, Leeds, Albion Street, LS1 5AA - 10th and 11th March


for

I'm told it uses the Python speech module


This is their 'dry run' from a couple of weeks ago

DavidW from the Foundation is helping them refine it for the actual day



And if you've not already signed up for it, Carlos does a great weekly newsletter about interesting micro:bit activities and event - but even he seems to have missed the talk in Milton Keynes :-)
