Making block-based coding accessible to everyone

We believe everyone should have the opportunity to learn computer science. That's why we're creating the Blockly Accessibility Fund to help developers create block-based programming tools that are truly inclusive for all learners.

This fund will enable CS-education focused nonprofits to build and launch accessible features into their block-based products and curricula. Together, we can make coding education a welcoming and engaging experience for everyone.

Who should apply

Nonprofits will be eligible to apply for a Blockly Accessibility Fund who commit to:

Get what you need to upgrade to the latest Blockly library, unlocking the latest accessibility features

Prominently highlight your latest accessibility features in your product and curriculum to drive usage

Collaborate with researchers and the Blockly community to evaluate and improve accessibility updates

How to apply

Apply through the Blockly Accessibility Fund Open Call Application. The deadline for all final applications is Monday, September 9, 2024, at 11:59:59 PM Pacific Standard Time.

We believe that coding should be accessible to the widest possible audience.

We are dedicated to making Blockly more accessible. In 2024 we are adding keyboard controls and screen reader support to improve usability for users with visual and motor disabilities.

We are also actively collaborating with partners who share our vision of a more inclusive coding experience for all.

We are proud to collaborate with organizations that share our commitment to accessibility.
