Learn arrays with Dungeon
Learn arrays with Dungeon
Learn arrays with Dungeon
Dungeon is an escape game where players must avoid being caught by guards. Students learn to represent data using arrays, allowing them to control how the guards appear and move. This builds on their earlier understanding of variables, helping them deepen their knowledge of data representation and program control.
Simple conditionals

Learn simple conditionals with Skyscraper
Skyscraper is a stacking game that introduces students to conditional logic. Students learn to use simple if-statements to control the crane’s movements based on user inputs, building the core game mechanic that allows them to construct a skyscraper.

Understanding Digital Systems
Pico Coding helps Year 4 students see how digital systems are used to solve real-world problems. Students explain how their solutions work and why digital systems are useful, strengthening their understanding of purposeful technology use.

Working with Data
Students explore how data can be represented and used within digital solutions. Pico Coding helps students see how changing inputs affect outcomes, reinforcing data concepts in a practical and engaging way.

Designing Algorithms with Decisions
Pico Coding introduces decision-making through challenges that require students to consider different outcomes. Students design algorithms that respond to conditions or user input, strengthening logical thinking and problem-solving skills.

Evaluating Digital Solutions
Students reflect on whether their solutions meet the task requirements and explain how they work. Pico Coding supports evaluation through clear goals and visible results, building early reflection skills.
