🎙️ New Episode of Tech and Test Podcast! 🎙️
I'm thrilled to be joined by Luke, a PhD candidate in Computer Science at Lancaster University. His research focuses on Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), education, and digital accessibility, particularly for individuals with ADHD.
In this episode, we dive into Luke’s PhD journey, his involvement with Lancaster's EDI (Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion) committee, and his role as R&D Liaison for NeurodiverseIT. We explore the significance of effective communication, especially within diverse communities, and discuss how AI is transforming society.
We also delve into the BBC micro:bit, discussing how it’s empowering young learners and making coding more accessible for all, especially children. Luke Halpin shares insights into the challenges and opportunities in creating more inclusive environments in tech and academia, and we explore the broader societal impact of AI.
Don’t miss this insightful conversation on inclusion, accessibility, and the future of tech, AI, and the BBC micro:bit !
