At the Institute of Accessible Technology (IAT), we believe that data science should be accessible to everyone—regardless of visual ability. This page compiles a curated collection of accessible, high-quality resources designed to support blind and low-vision learners and professionals in the field of data science.
Featured Workshop Series
The “Nonvisual Data Science Workshop Series,” hosted by NumFOCUS, Pandas Development Team and IOTA‑Institute, provides a rich set of video tutorials including:
- Non Visual Python – Using the NVDA screen-reader to work with Python code.
- Data Science Fundamentals in Pandas – Accessible instruction in using the Pandas library for data manipulation and analysis.
- Non Visual Data Exploration and Representation – Techniques and workflows for exploring datasets without relying on visuals.
- Principles of Sonification – How to translate data into sound, enabling auditory interpretation of data patterns.
- Creating Sonifications with Astronify – Hands-on use of the Astronify tool to convert data into auditory formats.
Together these materials form a complete playlist of the full workshop series.
Additional Accessible Tutorials
Beyond the workshop series, the page also links to:
- Introduction to Data Science for Screen-Reader Users – an online foundational course tailored for blind learners.
- Python for Data Analytics – A video course by Accesstech Innovation that demonstrates how to perform analytics workflows in Python using NVDA.
