About
We’re designing educational coding tools for kids who have been left out of learning—especially those with complex needs.
For notes on co-design sessions and other project updates, please visit the Code to Learn and Create site.
More Than Just Learning to Code
Our goal is to empower all learners with diverse abilities to be creators of their digital worlds, to express themselves using code and art, and to apply these skills to other areas of learning and daily life. Not just learning to code, but coding to learn and create.
Who We Are
Weavly is a collaborative effort between the Inclusive Design Research Centre, IRIS Institute, and the Bridges Canada. This project is funded by the Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada’s Accessible Technology Program.
Partners
Inclusive Design Research Centre (IDRC)
IDRC is an international community of open source developers, designers, researchers, educators and co-designers who work together to proactively ensure that emerging technology and practices are designed inclusively.
Bridges Canada
Bridges is the only cross-Canada, full service, assistive technology company. Bridges delivers unmatched support in assistive technology for learning, communication, alternative access, low vision and blindness needs.
Community
Weavly is built upon the efforts and contributions of many young and adult co-designers, family members, educators, and caregivers over the years. Without their insights and dedication, this project would not have been possible. Due to privacy reasons, we are unable to list their names here, but we are always deeply grateful for their invaluable contributions.
We would like to acknowledge the individuals and community-based groups who facilitated connections with our co-designers and significantly contributed to the progress of this project.
If you have contributed to Weavly in any capacity and would like your name to be included, please contact our team at weavly@idrc.ocadu.ca.
