Coders North is an educational charity that strongly emphasizes supporting youth from marginalized and at-risk communities. Coders North follows a mission “to empower as many youth as possible with the skills to help shape the web and digital world with content that reflects their values and passions.”
This website serves as an example of the importance for Indigenous peoples to have space and voice in our online spaces. The website features learning modules that are relevant to my final research project. This example dives into concepts such as Indigenization, Indigitization and Indigitalization. As well as concepts such as computational thinking and coding. Furthermore, the resource offers a lesson summary and interactive lessons. The website features a video library highlighting videos around the topics of “Indigenizing the Digital World,” “Indigenous Entrepreneurs,” “Indigitization,” and “Indigitalization and Coding.” The ideas within the video resources can be used within my research topic to highlight the importance of Indigenous representation and how it can be used to represent local Indigenous perspectives.
