This learning kit offers an exciting and practical introduction to coding and robotics, with a focus on creativity and problem solving.
Through a presentation of diverse ways to develop computational thinking skills, children will also develop a sense of curiosity about technology and how it will shape our future.
Students are encouraged to explore controlling a robot, sequencing instructions to create an algorithm, pattern recognition and working collaboratively to solve problems.
This kit contains links to VEYLDF learning outcomes and the Victorian Curriculum F-2 Digital Technologies.
The kit can be used to support a visit to Scienceworks or as a stand-alone experience. For further resources, please visit our early childhood education pages.

VEYLDF and Curriculum links
VEYLDF: Outcome 4 - Children are confident and involved learners.
- Children develop and range of skills and processes such as problem solving, inquiry and experimentation, hypothesizing, researching, and investigating.
- Children transfer and adapt what they have learnt from one context to another.
VEYLDF: Outcome 5 - Children are effective communicators.
- Childrens begin to understand how symbol and pattern systems work.
Victorian Curriculum F-10: Science
- Science Inquiry: Planning and conducting
- Students learn that scientific questions and predictions can be investigated safely by following procedures that have sequenced steps (VC2S2I02)
- Students learn that observations are made using the senses and recorded, including informal measurements, using digital tools as appropriate (VC2S2I03)
Victorian Curriculum F-10: Digital Technologies
- Digital Systems
- Students learn to identify and explore digital systems including hardware and software components for a purpose (VC2TDI2S01)
- Data, Information and Privacy
- Students learn to explore patterns in data and represent data as objects, pictures, symbols, numbers and words (VC2TDI2D01)
- Creating Digital Solutions
- Students learn to follow, describe and represent algorithms involving a sequence of steps, branching (decisions) and iteration (repetition) needed to solve simple problems (VC2TDI2C02)
