We believe it’s never about being easy or hard that makes us decide to do something or not, instead it’s about if something is interesting to do. And yes we do believe coding is interesting.

Coding is not hard. It’s just a craft like knitting or pottery, you can make something and share with friends within a few hours. It’s also like learning a language, instead of communicating with other people, we learn to communicate with computer and create something in the digital space.

Coding is also not easy, like any other crafts or language, it takes time to perfect your skills, and the deeper you get into it, the easier it becomes. Everybody get stuck with some problems at some point, that’s why we do it as a group, so we can help each other out and share the struggle and fun.

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 trying to build a community through code where we help each other.

Some people might be good at coding but they need help in getting a hospitality job, others might know how to choose a good second hand car but they want to know how to become a nurse. We come together because we are all interested in coding but we can help each other in all the aspects in life with our unique experience and skills.

Technology is a hot topic now, come and find out what it is really about. You will learn some new skills and meet some new people at this group, as well as some fun projects to take home and show others.

Then if you really like coding and would like to do it as a career, we have people with similar experience who are keen to show you the path and help you on the way.

We DO NEED HELP, and you don’t have to know how to code to help. And in fact we have too many people who can code but don’t know how to do anything else like reaching out to people. We are desperate for a natural marketer to help us reach more people and get more people to join our workshops through either social media or whatever way that works. Whether you are a marketing/business development expert or you have never done it before but keen to give it a try because you care about this group like us, we want to chat to you, drop us a message on instagram or send us an email, you can find the links in the header.
