The Challenge
Digital-skills and coding programmes are frequently designed without considering learners with disabilities from the outset, widening the digital divide rather than closing it.
My Role
Supported field coordination with the Raspberry Pi Foundation and The Action Foundation — school readiness and accessibility assessments, ICT infrastructure mapping, and stakeholder engagement across eight schools.
Impact
Established a baseline understanding of schools’ readiness for coding clubs, identified accessibility gaps, and helped ensure future digital programmes are designed inclusively from the start.
The digital divide is not only about internet access. It is also about who gets invited to shape the future. Inclusive coding education ensures learners with disabilities are creators of technology, not merely consumers of it.
