Teaching the Digital Technologies Curriculum (DTC) can feel overwhelming, especially when you're juggling multiple subjects, limited resources, and the ever-changing nature of technology. According to a recent report from the ANU Tech Policy Design Centre and the Australian Computer Society (ACS), more than two-thirds of teachers are struggling to implement the DTC effectively. Challenges like fast-paced technology changes, lack of resources, and the need for extra preparation time are leaving many teachers feeling unprepared.

That’s where Pico Coding comes in—a turnkey solution designed specifically to help teachers deliver the most engaging and effective Digital Technologies lessons, without the stress. Aligned with the Australian Curriculum (version 9.0), Pico Coding makes it easy for you to teach coding, computational thinking, and digital skills, even if you don’t have a background in technology.

We know you’re busy. Whether you’re teaching out-of-field or just trying to keep up with the latest changes, preparing for Digital Technologies classes often takes more time than other subjects. Creating engaging lessons, understanding technical content, and staying on top of advancements can be time-consuming.

With Pico Coding, we’ve done the heavy lifting for you:

Engage Your Students with Interactive Learning

The biggest challenge in any classroom is keeping students engaged—especially when it comes to a subject like Digital Technologies, which can seem intimidating or "too technical" for some students. According to the same report, many students are losing interest in digital subjects, which means fewer are pursuing careers in technology.

Pico Coding is designed to change that by offering a highly engaging, student-friendly experience. Here’s how we help you spark your students' curiosity:

• Gamified, hands-on learning: Pico Coding makes coding and technology fun! By incorporating interactive, game-based activities, students are more likely to stay engaged and motivated.

• AI-powered learning: Our dedicated AI learning companion PicoBot actively engages with learners and offers real-time feedback on their code.

• Accessible to all students: Whether they’re beginners or more advanced, Pico Coding’s lessons are designed to help every student succeed at their own pace, boosting their confidence along the way.

When students are having fun and seeing the value in what they’re learning, they’re more engaged and more likely to succeed.
