Designing technology that works for everyone means making it accessible for all abilities. 💻 From screen readers to voice recognition, here’s how recent innovations (specifically mobile apps) are shaping a more inclusive digital world—one where no one is left behind! 🌍💡

Here’s how some more recent innovations are shaping a more inclusive digital world! From groundbreaking assistive technologies to platforms that bridge the digital divide, these advancements are empowering people of all abilities and backgrounds to connect and thrive!

Tech accessibility is not just a feature—it’s a necessity! 🌍✨ By designing inclusive technology, we ensure that individuals of all abilities can thrive in our increasingly digital world.

#AI is already changing the way students learn & engage with the world. Without proper guidance, we risk losing control over this technology. Let's make sure AI empowers, rather than undermines, human teaching, potential & agency! on.unesco.org/2QJRWlq #EducationDay

How does CTRL Code align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals? 🌍💻 Through our free coding workshops, mentorship, & our Coding Unplugged book, we’re breaking barriers—one line of code at a time.

CTRL Code X United Nations Sustainable Development Goals! 🌍💻 🎓 Goal 4: Quality Education – Making CS education accessible to all. 🌍 Goal 10: Reduced Inequalities – Bridging the STEM gap for underrepresented communities.

From web development to data science, every coding language has its own unique strengths! 🛠️ Whether you're building a website, analyzing data, or creating an app, the right language can make all the difference. 👩‍💻✨

Each language is built for a specific purpose, so knowing which one to use can help you code smarter, not harder! 👨‍💻💡
