A poster about accessibility in Pluto and in scientific-computing-world. How can Pluto make scientific computing more accessible, and how can Pluto be more accessible? Also free stickers!! and you can meet the Pluto devs!


Pluto's mission statement is to make scientific computing more accessible and fun! We all know that computers are fun, but what does it mean for computing to be accessible?

This poster highlights different areas of accessibility in scientific computing:
- Taking skills into account: easy installation, simple API.
- Taking learning backgrounds into account: documentation like "Julia for Matlab users" or "Pluto for Excel users".
- Web accessibility: screen reader support, high-contrast mode.
- Availability: free and open source, easy to find.

The Pluto developers are excited to meet you and discuss the topic at this poster! Come visit us and get a free Pluto sticker :)
