Who we are

RefugeesCode Melbourne a refugee-oriented inclusive group and our focus is on both coding as a career and the creative side of coding.

Our goal is to help refugees, asylum seekers and people from other marginalised groups progress their career in tech, as well as creating a community where we come together and write code as a creative activity.

If you like the sound of what we are doing, please send an email to refugeescodemelbourne@gmail.com, we would love to have a chat with you!
