Coding for Country

Pilot Indigenous coding program Indigi Code has been established for young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students with the hope they will be able to gain future employment and work remotely in the digital space.

Indigi Code, a partnership between programming education provider 42 Adelaide and the Aboriginal Biodiversity Conservation (ABC) Foundation

had its first session at Nguta College in September, with 20 students participating in a week-long course designed for entry-level coders.

The free program offers a “gamified” peer-to-peer study experience, with students learning from other students through engagement-style learning.  

ABC Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation established in WA, with its flagship program providing services to benefit on-Country education programs and 42 Adelaide is a non-profit coding school.

Both organisations hope to expand from this initial pilot

program with the scope to include other schools if the right interest and funding is found.
