There is no reason that tomorrow’s software developers can’t use assistive technology to make cutting-edge software for the world! We are designing it now to use on iPads, but we hope to bring this software to Apple’s Vision Pro virtual reality headsets, equipped with the most sophisticated eye-tracking technology so far! Byte Bot will provide children in the Gulf region with the first truly accessible and inclusive introduction to software development. As a technology team, we know how valuable these skills are in progressing through education and finding a fulfilling career. It is our aim that we can make coding fun and inclusive for all.
Byte Bot AI seeks to create an engaging and accessible platform that fosters a passion for coding, empowers young minds, and promotes STEM skill development, ultimately positively impacting the lives of PWDs in the region.
“Byte Bot AI” will empower children with physical disabilities, fostering a sense of independence and self-confidence. Coding skills acquired through “Byte Bot AI” will prepare the participants for future educational and vocational prospects. The game’s interactive levels will teach fundamental coding concepts such as sequences, loops, and arrays, setting a strong foundation for further STEM education.
