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.
