During a live interview at the event, Amin Mohammed, your go-to Tech and Business blogger from DTC Official GH, delved into the journey of this extraordinary team. The CEO shared the team’s initial struggles, including facing a significant setback just a day before the competition. Due to religious barriers, the original group members could not participate, leaving the team only 24 hours to train a new group of members. Despite the odds, this newly formed group not only competed but also triumphed, winning the Tech Leagues and making history as the first hearing-impaired participants in the competition.

The success of Deaf Can Talk is deeply rooted in their innovative approach to overcoming communication barriers. Utilizing their app, Deaf Can Talk, the team was able to bridge the gap between hearing and non-hearing individuals. The app converts spoken language into readable text, allowing seamless communication between the team members and their instructors. This technology played a crucial role in their training process, enabling them to absorb and apply complex coding and robotics concepts with remarkable speed and accuracy.
