My Project

Typing is a foundational skill that is necessary for success in the modern world. Whether in education, the workplace, or daily life, the ability to type efficiently and without looking at the keyboard is crucial. However, many students struggle with typing due to a lack of proper guidance or resources.

No-Peek Keyboard Covers are designed to assist students in learning to touch-type, a technique where they type without looking at the keys.

These covers are placed over the keyboard, obscuring the letters and encouraging students to rely on muscle memory rather than visual cues. By using these covers, students are able to focus on correct finger placement and build the confidence necessary to type efficiently.
