1. Description of the challenge

Visual Impaired students mainly work on a computer. All the students have different impairments, so they have a different way of working. The file type they work with varies from doc to pdf, from html to a variety of websites and programs. If they have to measure a line segment or angle for STEM, they would like to have a tool which complies with the file type, way of working (enlargement) and is accessible.

2. Expected outcome

A solution for the difficulty they experience, for example a program, app or tool they can run on their device to measure which takes into account all the differences.
