Quorum
Also known as: Quorum Programming Language
An evidence-based programming language designed with accessibility as a core principle, making it usable by people with and without visual impairments. Quorum provides audio input and output, screen reader compatibility, and an accessible debugger called SODBeans that uses auditory cues to convey program state. It is used as the primary language in the AccessCSforAll accessible AP Computer Science Principles curriculum. While Quorum is text-based rather than block-based, it serves as one of the few accessible alternatives for teaching programming to students with visual impairments in K-12 settings.
