Description:	Australian students ranked last in tech skills and interest in technical jobs[1]. This isn't surprising: the typical IT experience for a school student involves Word, typing and Powerpoint. Compared to the experiences of contributors to the Open Source community, it is clear that a major intervention in schools is needed. The new Digital Technologies curriculum is this much needed intervention. From 2018, hundreds of thousands of students will be on their way to becoming programmers, hackers and makers, but only if their early experiences are positive. The Australian Computing Academy has created 32 hours of free, open resources teaching FOSS languages such as Python and Arduino, and will create over 100 more! Through fun, engaging projects that connect to the real-world, we are developing CS skills and enthusiasm in every student. The first challenges are available now, exploring chatbots, musical instruments with embedded devices, and a throwback to old school computing education with Papert and Logo: generating vector graphics with the Python Turtle. More capable students, skilled in and excited about the fundamentals of computer science, can make meaningful contributions to Open Source projects, learning both the philosophies and ethical principles of the FOSS community while also building a body of work that sets them up for a career in any field. We're calling on everyone - developers, hackers, makers and educators - to make space for students in open source communities. Whether first contributor programs targeting young learners or working with us to make your project more accessible, but fostering new talent has always been a philosophy of the open source community. We’re making FOSS the new normal. [1] 2016 report from the World Economic Forum across global sample of countries markdown
