Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce congratulated Mr Nitschke and three other students from the New England on being selected to be part of the first digIT cohort, a program which will help take students’ skills in digital literacy, science, technology, engineering and mathematics to the next level.
“DigIT will expand their critical thinking, programming and problem-solving skills – skills that will be vital for Australia’s future successes,” Mr Joyce said.
DigIT summer schools will be held in a different capital city each year and are open to secondary students.
