Shh! Can you hear that diagram? What does a diagram sound like? What does the shape of a sound feel like? Researchers at @qmuleecs.bsky.social explored how to help the visually impaired through multi-modal interfaces. cs4fn.blog/2025/11/10/s... (from the archive)

I'm working on a lovely side-project with @cs4fn.bsky.social & @c4dm.bsky.social at @qmuleecs.bsky.social to help create some classroom resources (for primary and secondary schools) based on the use of AI in analysing music (in particular underrepresented musical tradition).

If you have / teach children you might enjoy our free Hallowe'en Spooky Zine, from @cs4fn.bsky.social at @qmuleecs.bsky.social. There are puzzles to solve and pictures to colour in, then fold into a cute booklet. Bonus info: classroom links with computational thinking. cs4fn.blog/halloweenzine/
