Code Masters
Make coding an interactive adventure!
Perfectly designed to support the digital technologies curriculum, this primary school incursion helps students develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills through hands-on challenges.
Students explore the components of digital systems to see how data is stored, processed, and communicated. Through decoding activities and puzzles, they see how different components interact and fit together to make technology work.
Students examine algorithms, such as searching and sorting, to see which are most efficient. Using flowcharts, they build their own algorithms, explore how computers store information with binary code, and even create their own binary code pictures.
Students love our educational robotics part of the incursion! They get hands-on with Sphero robots, navigating ramps, obstacles, and interactive challenges. They learn how robots execute algorithms, making key digital systems concepts come alive.
Teachers across Victoria are logging in to this incursion!

The Code Masters incursion was fabulous. All students were extremely engaged. The rotations challenged each child’s thinking and promoted discussion around binary numbers and Spheros. It has definitely inspired our senior students and teachers. Our class cannot stop learning about binary numbers now. We’re hooked! – Sarah

The sessions were amazing. They catered to a variety of interest and ability levels. All students were on task throughout the whole session and there was a tangible buzz as they were moving though the tasks. This also ticked off curriculum that we had not ticked off in the school year. – Rachel
