Digital Education Systems Pty Ltd (DigEd) is an Australian company on a mission to make digital equity possible for every school — no matter where they are in the world.
Founded by educators and technologists, DigEd creates secure, sustainable, and low-cost IT solutions that are built for classrooms, not corporate boardrooms.
Why We’re Doing This

Full control over your digital environment
“We built a working classroom of 20 laptops on a $2,000 budget using Ubuntu — and now we’re scaling that idea into a full solution for schools everywhere.”
Powered by Ubuntu. Built for Education.
