New Algorithm Stream Launch: Aligned with the Australian Digital Technologies Curriculum

New Algorithm Stream Launch: Aligned with the Australian Digital Technologies Curriculum

June 23, 2025

Pico Coding is excited to launch our new Algorithm Stream, expanding our range of interactive coding lessons designed to align with the Australian Digital Technologies Curriculum.

This new learning stream complements our popular Data Representation Stream, giving students a complete understanding of how computers think, process, and solve problems.

With the Pico Coding Premium plan, schools and students gain access to:

  • The new Algorithm stream

  • The Data Representation stream

  • And our Design stream (creative projects)
    Together these streams provide a complete coding curriculum that is ready-to-use, curriculum-aligned, and engaging.

The Algorithm Stream

Our newly launched Algorithm stream looks to present algorithmic and computational thinking in a visual and engaging way.

What students do:

  • Explore topics such as functions, sequencing, conditional logic, user input and loops.

  • Use hands-on game-based challenges to apply algorithmic logic: students don’t just learn syntax, they learn how to think like a coder.

  • Work through scaffolded challenges in a fun, gamified environment that supports progression at their own pace.

Benefits of this stream:

  • Develops students’ logical reasoning and problem-solving — vital skills in the Australian Digital Technologies Curriculum.

  • Supports teachers with resources and aligned content so lessons can be delivered confidently and effectively.

The Data Representation Stream

Our Data Representation stream introduces how computers store, organise and transmit information, the crucial foundations behind all digital technologies.

What students do:

  • Work through levels where they explore how computers store and represent data - including variables, arrays, and objects..

  • Progress through levels that scaffold from “Introduction to code editor” to "Representing data with objects”.

Benefits of this stream:

  • Saves teachers time: lessons are “ready-to-use, curriculum-aligned” for seamless classroom integration.

  • Engages every student: inclusive learning path, supporting beginners and advanced alike.

  • Directly aligned with curriculum goals: supports computational thinking, problem-solving and logical reasoning.

Why Choose Pico Coding

Pico Coding provides a complete coding education pathway aligned with the Australian Digital Technologies Curriculum. Each stream is built to help students:

  • Think critically about how digital systems work

  • Solve real problems using algorithmic thinking

  • Create digital solutions through design and innovation

Whether you’re a teacher looking for classroom resources or a parent supporting your child’s STEM learning, Pico Coding offers structured, curriculum-aligned lessons that make learning to code fun and meaningful.
