The State election will be held on Saturday 28 November 2026. During the caretaker period (starting 6 pm on Tuesday 3 November) content will only be added to this website in line with the caretaker conventions.
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)
