What would it look like if the technology we created was informed by the voices of many, and built solely to create positive outcomes?
What would be enabled if careers in technology were more visible to indigenous communities: for the individuals who take up that career path; for the indigenous communities that are better served by technology; and more broadly for western and corporate Australia?
Our guest for this week, Liam Ridgeway, is the co-founder of two organisations that together embody an answer to these questions. One is NGNY, a digital agency that is 100% Aboriginal owned and operated, and the other is Indgitek whose mission is to grow the number of Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander people who take up STEM as a learning and career path.
We loved chatting with Liam and are excited about the impact his work will have.
