We pay our respects to Elders past, present, and emerging. We recognise and respect their cultural heritage, beliefs, and relationship with the land. We acknowledge that they are continuing importance to the Kaurna people living today and we extend that respect to other Aboriginal Language Groups and other First Nations who may be present on our site.

Geek Culture

WHY 42?

In Douglas Adams’ book The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy – H2G2 for short – an advanced alien species builds a super computer. It has only one job: to find the answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe and Everything. After 7 million years of calculation, the computer finds the answer: 42. In geek culture, 42 often represents the answer to a seemingly insuperable problem. This is why 42 is called 42. This is our answer to what IT education should be today and in the future.
