On the afternoon of the event there will be a follow-up email that will include the rules and an answer sheet. Team captains should share this information with their team members. Our questions are geared towards adults in challenge rating, but for families who want to play together, please know that there are no "embarrassing" questions or content. Participants' videos will not need video participation, so no need to worry about having a working webcam to play. The ability to access Zoom and view slides on a screen is all you need for this fantastic trivia fun! Since this event is using Zoom, teams who don't live together will need to communicate by some non-Zoom means - for example, texting, Facetime, Google Hangouts, etc. Let us know if you have any questions by sending an email to [email protected]. https://belmontpubliclibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/virtual-trivia-night-55/

Join us for a brief look at a new method for presenting computer graphics to the blinder viewer. Instructor and Python guru Charles (Ray) Smith will describe and demonstrate methods available to aid the completely visually impaired in discovering the world of simple computer graphics. While initial interest and work was concerned with the teaching of computer programming to the visually impaired, the results may be useful to a larger community. The presentation will demonstrate several simple figures created by simple python programs plus the extensions we produced to give the visually impaired a view of these figures. As an alumnus of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Ray has a background in programming that has spanned the professional world from MIT and GenRad to IBM and eDial/Alcatel-Lucent and is interested in expanding individual understanding of how coding informs the world in which we live.
