**StudyTank**

A virtual initiative where we get together to discuss concepts around web technologies. This includes, but is not limited to data structure & algorithm problems, web fundamentals and any web-related topics. Part of this initiative is the community educators program which is a platform that invites members from the community to teach a topic that they are passionate about.

Learning is not just about acquiring knowledge; it's also about effectively communicating what we've learned. By teaching others, we solidify our own understanding of the subject matter. Through this initiative, we aim to foster a culture of sharing, learning, and mutual growth within Study Tank.

**Today's session**

Web accessibility is about making the internet an inclusive space for everyone, regardless of their abilities, disabilities, or the devices they use to access information. It is the practice of designing and developing websites and web applications in a way that ensures all users can perceive, understand, navigate, and interact with digital content effectively.

So we're thrilled that this session features [Hojung An](https://www.linkedin.com/in/hojungan/) who is going to be talking to us about Web accessibility!

This session will cover what web accessibility is about, why it's important and what guidelines and laws exist. If you’re new to web accessibility or familiar with it and still have a hard time understanding some of the concepts, then this session will answer some of your questions!
