	Children of Apolyton unite! Support Apolyton, buy GURPS/ Alpha Centauri

I'm following a Human-Computer Interaction course for which we have to make an improved design of a site for blind and visually impaired (and seeing) children: http://www.sonokids.com

In the process of building this new version we have to do a user survey of our targeted audience. We're thinking about focussing on 10-14 year olds.

So now I was wondering if any 10-14yo Apolyton members or children/family of Apolyton members would be willing to help.

The site's in English, Dutch and Danish. I've attached the English questionnaire (19 questions). I can provide you with a Dutch version as well.

Any kids not speaking any of those languages are welcome to fill in the questionnaire as well. Only the last 3 questions are about the Sonokids website.

If you happen to know blind or visually impaired kids, I'd love to hear from them too, but we have a few different questions for them.

You can send me the answers by PM or to: jorrit_v AT hotmail DOT com.

I'm in a bit of a hurry too. I'll need the data by Tuesday.

Thanks!

For those of you who aren't 10-14 but simply can't resist, feel free to comment here.

I don't think we have any 10-14 year olds.

you could try at a pokeman site.

though I have the emotional maturity of a 14 year old. does that count?

I was hoping some of the "old farts" had kids that age.

Yes, maybe I'd have better luck in the Civ3 forum.

I think PLATO's kid is 13-something. I don't know of any other Polychild that is in the same range.

Well, not that much actually. In the Civ forums (Poly and Civfanatics), only 6 people between 10 and 14 replied to my survey. That may have to do with the fact that both sites are restricted to 13+ year olds

You may have more luck if you talk about your project to a school director or something. If it's for the blind children, I'm sure many will be eager to help.

Yes, I know. But in that case I'd have to think about proper procedures for contacting them, since I'd be representing the university. Or so the teacher told us. But it's a team I'm working in. The idea was that the "user experience" team got in touch with a blind school, and the rest of us asked friends and family. I don't know any kids that age, though, so I thought I'd give Apolyton a shot.

But thanks.

Funny that, so did I! Even Lefty Scaevola was in that age range several millennia ago

I seriously doubt you old geezer poly guys were that young. You have no idea how it feels to be opressed because of your age. .
It was a rough time, but I got through it.

I joined when I was 14.

at Jaguar's "Kuci & I was that age once!" post. I thought DaShi was 12 or 13, or I must be thinking of someone else...
