Robert Luke Deakin is an Australian social entrepreneur and cyber security expert, born in Nambour, Queensland, in 1966. He is the chairman of the Humble Enterprise Foundation charity and a director of Social Builders Pty Ltd, a Melbourne-based social enterprise, which focuses on children at risk of social isolation, particularly children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). He also provides advice to selected organisations on national cyber security, particularly in the area of critical infrastructure protection, economic information warfare and development of the Australian Cyber Security Workforce. Social enterprise Deakin has identified specific ways that children with ASD are attracted to certain types of play, in particular the systematic nature of construction systems such as Lego. In 2011, he hired space at the Abbotsford Convent and started running Brick Clubs. These clubs provided families affected by autism with an opportunity for children to meet and share their interest in the Lego system and afforded respite for families. Deakin used his knowledge of construction play to improve social interaction and communication among children who have social difficulties. In particular, the Brick Clubs use social play strategies to reinforce appropriate behaviours, improve interaction and enhance the communication between children. In 2012, Deakin was awarded a Churchill Fellowship, which allowed him to visit Singapore, the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Denmark to learn about establishing national programmes to assist young children with autism to overcome social isolation and to help build friendships. Deakin is an alumnus of "The Crunch", one of Australia's most highly respected and rigorous social enterprise start-up programs run by social traders with the Melbourne Business School at the University of Melbourne. Brick Club was scaled up after completion of the Crunch Program with the establishment of a permanent studio in Fairfield, Victoria. The number of sessions available to families was increased at the studio and broader advocacy of the need for social opportunities also increased. Deakin has provided support and advocacy to many local communities to establish their own local Brick Club operations. The growth of Brick Clubs has been funded entirely through the social enterprise activities. The enterprise raises funds from large-scale public events, school programmes and other activities that focus science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), especially Lego Model Exhibitions, Lego Serious Play, robotics, 3D printing, children's coding and Minecraft games. Education Deakin attended Caloundra Primary School, boarded at Marist College Ashgrove Secondary College in
