Program
Keynote: Coding in the dark
“Coding in the Dark” is our keynote, where a blind software engineering student demonstrates how they program without sight, offering a firsthand account of the challenges faced by visually impaired individuals in the field of software engineering. Through a live coding session, our speaker highlights the unique obstacles blind people encounter in academia and the tech industry, shedding light on issues like accessibility, lack of support, and the need for adaptive technologies. The event aims to raise awareness and promote inclusivity within the software development community.
