Zoom supports Sign Language Interpretation
LJL learned recently (Nov. 3 blog post) that Zoom added a new feature to make its video communication platform more accessible to deaf and hard-of-hearing users by providing a specialized view for sign language interpreting on their meetings and webinars. The meeting host can arrange for a designated interpreter and participants can opt in to view the sign language interpreter in a separate viewing box.
Zoom introduced its live transcription and automatic translation features earlier this year and LJL applauds them for making these important accessibility enhancements to their offering!

Winning Team: Sanskriti Negi
Winner!
Sanskriti's Project Abstract - Oftentimes children of immigrants don’t know the language of the place they move to. In many places this leads to children not being able to perform as well in school, especially when no language-immersion classes are offered. Furthermore, even when language-immersion type classes are offered, they sometimes try to take out the native language of the student in hopes to fully assimilate them into a new culture.
