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.
