"Techfest 2024”

The show that had so much material it needed to go for an hour!

Techfest was held in Adelaide 6th November. This expo brought together the leading brands in Adaptive Technology for Vision Impaired and Blind users, as well as some of the latest innovations from companies like Apple and Ray Ban.

Lizzie and Sam were there to check out the merchandise and talk to the vendors.

On this week's show:

"Uni Daze”

We're heading back to university as we talk to two former students about life on campus; the challenges and the solutions to studying while you have a Vision Impairment.

Also, Sam attempts to address the fact that last week's show did not have a proper segue between the intro and interviews, but things do not go to plan...
