Building inclusive communities of young coders who have the confidence to determine their own pathways into technology is vital if we are going to ensure diversity and equality is better represented in the future. A pilot project linking young people from grass-root communities and industry leaders, will explore the experience of young people developing ‘community’ and a model of ‘open organisation’ -for 2019. The Young Coders MeetUp has completed is initial Agile development phase and will be launching in January 2019. This talk will provide some background context and reflection on their experiences so far.
