6th-grader's video game explores accessibility


Rome Nardin, a sixth-grade student at Navigator Academy of Leadership, designed a video game for kids with visual impairments as a science fair project. Nardin uses hearing aids and says he enjoys video games because he doesn't need to hear in order to play, and he wanted to push the boundaries of accessible games for players whose visual impairments mean they must rely more on their hearing.
