Humanware, a Christchurch designer and maker of electronic aids for the blind
and visually-impaired, has been overrun with children for a day.
About 30 children of staff were invited to their parents' workplace for the day
to see what they do.
Low vision programme manager Russell Watson said the day gave children exposure
to hi- tech careers, plus showing them what their parents did.
The day was the idea of chief executive Richard Mander, who had seen similar
schemes in Silicon Valley in the United States.
