QLD Government implemented bring your own computer device to school. Leigh Harris @ingeousstudios has nieces and nephews who can't afford computers. Robotics is great but there are communities in regional and remote areas who lack access. #techinclusion

When migrants first arrive in Australia, we view ourselves through a prism of opportunity. We arrive with a blank canvas, eager to make the most of a new adventure in Australia. #TechInclusion

#Refugees arrive in Australia having already lived in at least three other continents. They think globally - which is exactly what tech start ups aspire to be. #techinclusion

Over 1/3 of small businesses in Australia are founded by migrants and refugees. They arrive here with a huge reservoir of skills & knowledge, as they often have to reinvent tech to survive. #techinclusion

Tim Noonan: disability and voice inclusion in design. Even sites you might think are geared for disabled people are exclusive in use of tech. E.g. Audible is inaccessible (e.g. using visual captcha) or hearing aid companies have inaccessible apps. #TechInclusion

Tools for software development and testing are inaccessible. E.g. using voice to do coding. On disability & sexual minorities - tech is exclusive. E.g. dating apps are mostly visual. -Tim Noonan. #TechInclusion
