Event description

Thought coding was hard and boring? We would like to change your mind on that! Just like pottery, crochet, or painting, coding is about creating something of your own, but in digital space.

In this workshop, we will explore the creative side of code with HTML and CSS. You will get to build [insert your IDEA here] with the help of friendly volunteers. If you would like to know more about what you can do with code, check out this post. If you would like to go deeper than HTML & CSS, you can also get started with p5.js which allows you to build cool animation.

Come join us for an afternoon of fun activities, learn a new craft and meet some nice people. Nerdy is the new cool now.

Beginner friendly
Everyone is welcome

About us

RefugeesCode Melbourne is a group that runs coding workshops for refugees, activists, women, queer, climbers, cyclists and everyone. Our goal is to build a community through code where we help each other.

We have a strong focus on refugees, queer people and women but this group is open to anyone who cares about refugee rights in Australia and would like to learn coding. We believe different people brings different skills to the table and we can all contribute in some ways or another at different points, so we want to have a truely diverse group in all the dimensions, not only in culture, gender, but also in life experience, way of thinking, etc. And what connects us all together is our love for code and our care for other human beings.

We are a refugee-oriented, everyone-included group.

Australia treats refugees horribly, and most people have no idea about it. Tens of thousands of refugees live here without study right, what kind of monsters take away people’s right to study??? So we provide a space for refugees to come and learn to code. Our workshops are our protest against Australian government’s cruel policies, our desire to learn and improve cannot be taken away and we will always find a way.

On the other hand, refugees are not just people who needs to be helped and excluded from everyone else. We are all capable of contributing to making where we live a better and more inclusive place. So we welcome everyone to join us and we have refugee coders here help you learn to code.

Why coding? Coding as a job pays well and offers great flexibility. If you would like to become a coder by trade, our workshops are a good starting point. If you don’t, coding can also just be another fun thing to try out. Think about pottery or knitting, making things with your hands, coding is exactly like that, except in digital space. At the end of our workshop, you will learn how to make a funny website for your friend’s birthday. We will make you rethink about coding, nerdy is the new cool.
