InSightFull: The Ripple Effect of Math Accessibility Updates in Microsoft365

Math accessibility is essential for ‘who gets to be’ in STEM, but math equations are often overlooked or assumed to be irrelevant to disabled students.

Blind student Ailee Dixon and STEM educator Sara Shunkwiler share research, stats, and stories behind disability belonging in STEM. Join them for a sometimes-irreverent look at their disability journey from bathroom stalls inaccessible to wheelchairs to equations inaccessible to screen readers. They are joined by Microsoft developer Peter Wu who answered their plea for help and will demonstrate new accessibility updates in Microsoft 365.

Together, we’ll explore the ripple effect of math accessibility and equitable access for STEM students, workplace professionals, and content creators. It will be InSightFull!
