I will not be recruiting new Ph.D. students for the 2026-27 academic year, due to the unprecedented grant terminations and funding cuts in the United States, and continued higher education budget uncertainty caused by the U.S. government.

Are you interested in making programming languages that work for everyone?

We're creating 💬︎ Wordplay, a coding platform for creating accessible, multilingual, interactive typography that celebrates the world's diversity. Our goal is to support ability, language, culture, and class diverse secondary computing classrooms and their students and teachers.

Want to learn more? Try 💬︎ Wordplay, or read our project wiki to learn how to contribute, helping design and implement the platform, participating in meetups and chats, and guiding the direction of the project. UW students can earn credit during the academic year by registering for INFO 494.
