Responsive to your Interests

There is no one 'correct' digital history. We let your interests drive the course, to find your people, to expand your niche, to support your research.

Do you have to be 'techy'?

'Techy' is just gatekeeping. If you're willing to be open and honest when things don't go right, you'll do well!

Things will fail

Digital tech is all just a lash-up, it really is, held together with bubble gum and spit. Things will break, and that's ok.

Privacy First

Any public facing work we do in this course can be done under a pseudonymn, no questions asked. And when life intervenes, we'll roll with that too.
