[community] Another accessible PhET Sim!

[Taliesin Smith]

Hi Again Community,

For those unfamiliar with our inclusive design work on PhET Simulations, it might be helpful to add that Alternative Input and Sonification are available without assistive technology, and to access Interactive Descriptions you need to use the latest screen reader Voiceover, NVDA or JAWS and the appropriately paired browser Safari, Firefox, and Chrome.

Please play and share and if you have any questions, please let me know.

This inclusive design research started with a wonderful collaboration with the IDRC in late 2014. I had the amazing opportunity to do my Master Research Project in Inclusive Design on designing interactive descriptions for Balloons and Static Electricity.
