The Rochester Institute of Technology proposes to increase the participation of students with visual impairments in computing by providing better preparation and support for them, as well as increased professional development opportunities for their teachers. There are four objectives: (1) increase the number of students with visually impairments who enter computing programs at the post-secondary level, (2) increase instructional opportunities for students are visually impaired in grades seven through twelve, (3) increase the preparation of computing teachers at the secondary level, and (4) provide ongoing support for computing educators and students while the students are in secondary school or making the transition to post-secondary education. Summer workshops and year-round follow-up activities will be developed to provide middle and high school-aged students with the opportunity to explore computing in a multi-modal, hands-on environment with their parents. An annual workshop will be held to train special education and computing educators from secondary schools. The Project ACE website will be expanded to include a multimedia career zone to learn about being a student and practitioner pursuing computing. In addition, a 2-day conference for industry, STEM professionals who are visually impaired, students and their families will be held in collaboration with the National Federation of the Blind to explore the issues, opportunities and successes regarding participation in computing by the visually impaired community.

罗切斯特技术学院提议通过为他们提供更好的准备和支持，并增加教师的专业发展机会，从而增加具有视觉障碍的学生的参与。有四个目标：（1）增加视力障碍的学生人数，这些学生在大专院间输入计算计划，（2）在7至12年级中，增加了学生的教学机会，（（3）增加计算教师在中学水平上的准备，以及（4）在班上教育和学生提供持续的支持，以使学生在第二个学业中进行培训，以使学生在第二个学业中进行培训。夏季研讨会和全年的后续活动将开发，以使中学生和高中生有机会与父母在多模式，动手的环境中探索计算。 将举行年度研讨会，以培训特殊教育和计算中学的教育者。该项目ACE网站将扩展到包括多媒体职业区域，以了解成为追求计算的学生和从业者。 此外，为期2天的行业会议，视力障碍的STEM专业人员将与盲人联合会合作举行学生及其家人，以探讨视觉障碍社区参与计算的问题，机会和成功。
