What is the pre-hackathon Immersion Visit at Perkins?

On Friday, November 6, from 2:00 to 5:00 PM, hackathon participants are invited to an optional Immersion Visit at Perkins School for the Blind in Watertown, MA. You’ll hear from people with lived experience and Perkins educators, tour the campus, and explore assistive technology and other tools that support accessible learning. The visit will help you understand learners’ experiences and the challenges you’ll work on during the hackathon. Light snacks will be provided.
