A senior design project for CollegeBoard, built so blind and low-vision students can use it too.
An interactive periodic table, sponsored by CollegeBoard as part of NC State’s Senior Design program. The goal is a table that blind and low-vision students can explore as easily as anyone else in the class.
The periodic table is one of the most visual things in a chemistry class: position, color, patterns across rows and columns. Making it explorable without sight means rethinking how that information gets presented, not just slapping labels on it.
React and Next.js, built by a student team over Fall 2026, from early September to early December. I’m one of the frontend developers; teammates cover the data, the backend and project management.
Planning is done and the build is underway, so this page will grow as the project does.
