Hello, and welcome to our blog! We are Team 5, and we’re excited to work with our coach Dr. Christian Grant and our sponsor Freedom Scientific this year! Our project is to create a collaborative remote desktop system for the JAWS screenreader to enable blind people to help other blind people.

This week, we got to meet each other and start discussing the scope of work for our project. We also met our coach and started preparing for our initial meeting with our liaison, and over the next few days we’ll be determining our responsibilities within the team and deciding our team name and logo. Though we’ll have much to do in the coming weeks, we’re excited to get started and ready to learn all we can!
