Module 1, Entry 5
I found a great Ted Talk delivered by Michael Mieni who is the first-ever Indigenous IT honors student at the University of Technology in Sydney, Australia. His talk spoke to the need and opportunity to break the ‘digital divide’ in Indigenous communities and discusses how improving access to IT resources and training to Indigenous youth can help to increase social and economic opportunities for Indigenous youth and their communities.
From using technologies for language preservation to using drone technologies to map out sacred lands, Michael describes great possibilities and opportunities for a future that bridges the digital divide.
