Coffee Pod #62: Exploring the interface between ancient cultural knowledge systems and cutting edge technology with remarkable Indigenous entrepreneur Mikaela Jade

View descriptionShare

Mikaela Jade is a Cabrogal woman and a ground-breaking entrepreneur who is truly amplifying the voice of Indigenous Australia. Mikaela is a representative of Indigenous peoples at the United Nations and is the founder of technology business Indigital, telling Indigenous stories in innovative ways, including through an augmented reality app.

Mikaela explores what does it look like to combine ancient knowledge-systems with cutting edge digital technology. In a discussion ranging from climate change to ethical digitisation to mental health and to honing our sense of belonging, this week's guest takes entrepreneurial spirit to a whole new level.

How does a park ranger from Sydney discover her roots, harness her 'inner geek' and end up working with tech giants like Microsoft to record, track and augment Indigenous knowledge, all from a remote location in Kakadu? What can white Australia do better to support and celebrate Indigenous culture? And who out there can help get Indigital AR stories into schools and embedded in the education system so our country's wisdom remains alive for future generations? Grab your coffee and throw some fuel on the fire for change.
